You can still get problems with one end being say 10Mb/s and the other running a different speed/duplex etc. I am finding that 1Ghz chips seem less than reliable in this regard to older switches that way! I also have some 4 port sun 100mhz cards that need the other end always up before powering the machine they are in on as nothing I can do once up will get the ends in sync. also try "cat /proc/net/dev" and see if that shows anything useful BillK -- William Kenworthy Home in Perth!
