I've had recent problems with the 3c59x.o driver with the Debian 2.2.17 kernel package. The only way to get my NIC (a 3com 3c905B-TX) to work was to boot to 2.0.36, download the kernel source, and compile it monolithically myself (make-kpkg, of course). Not sure why this problem exists -- haven't bothered to research it. I haven't noticed any packet drops or problems since. -- Chad "^chewie, gunnarr" Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
