I can't help with the reply, but I can now answer my own question: The Etherexpress works fine. I didn't change anything, either in the kernel config or in the hardware settings for the card and it all just worked. I must have a look at the driver to see if I can figure out if it is enabling the shared memory or if it just not useing it (it is turned of in hardware). Steve
