It's using the Realtek 8169 gigabit driver. I compile my own kernels, but the r8169.ko module seems to be included in the linux-image-2.6.18-3-amd64 package, so it should work with Debian packaged kernels as well. BTW: Len, why do you avoid Realtek 8110S? Is it somehow unreliable or Linux-unfriendly? I'm just curious, so I can start avoiding it knowingly, if there are some issues to avoid it :) Simo -- :r ~/.signature
