I had the same problem with the 3c509 until adding "aui". I happened to look at the code for the driver and found that this also activates the twisted pair connector that I am using. It seems to work fine for me with an ifconfig of "ifconfig ep0 inet < ip_address> aui" command for me. -Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul Parker CIS: CSI:PPARKER or 70004,54 CompuServe Inc.
