(tp/rj45 if it makes a difference) de0 I think you mean? This also supports the 21140. I've just installed 2.2.7 via an el cheapo card with a 21140-AB on 10BaseT (actually an FTP install at that). The only gotcha for this particular card was the need to specify the media type explicitly ('media 10BaseT/UTP' is the ifconfig option I recall using), even though the boot messages seem to indicate it being initialised to 10BaseT. I seem to recall prior list traffic noting that many of these cards don't probe/initialise totally automatically. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
