Mermaid is now running a stock 2.2.14 kernel. The network seems to be coming up happier now (support for this card is better in 2.2.) Compile a custom kernel if you think it'll help :-) Thanks, -- Grahame Bowland OCM of UCC and UniSFA, UCC syadmin Email: gbowland(a)gbowland.com Web: http://www.gbowland.com/
