Alas, mine is still very flakey. I've kept it in the machine in order to try analyzing the problem some time later, but i've meanwhile switched back to my old 8-bit 3C503 since i needed a reliable Ethernet card in order to get my NFS diskless client up & running (which was basically impossible with the 3C590, regardless of whether using your patch or not). When it's hanging, it doesn't unwedge itself. Re-ifconfig'ing is the only way out. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
