Maybe there is a conflict somewhere, or maybe you can tell the card to use a different IRQ. (ISTR setting the two tulip NICs I used to have to different IRQs with kernel 2.4; I did it solely for performance) On an old (ISA-only, no PCI) machine I had a conflict between a newer ISA PnP NIC that decided to assume the same IRQ as an old jumper-configured sound/cdrom card. The NIC could send, but not receive. When I removed the sound/cdrom card the NIC worked just fine. (I still need to go through all the jumpers on the sound card and change its setting) -D -- Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained. --C.S.
