It also does not do it job after rebooting the machine unless I unplug the cable and then restore it back. It is like this action triggers the card to start do its network job. Perhaps this is your problem too ? Has anyone else encounters it and/or knows/have suggestions how it can be solved ? > Did not do any good. I will try changing IRQ again... thats the most likely cause for this misbehaviour I think. Btw, when I said it worked for windows, thats not on the same computer (that one only has linux). I will try again on a windoze pc just to check the card has not fried in the meantime. I will also try to get the NE2000 test for linux. Thanks, -Lex
