The above referenced driver works ok on one of my 166MHz Pentium systems but fails on my 233MHz PentiumPro system. Looks like there might be a timing or compatibility problem there. The mother board is an ASUS P/I-XP6NP5 with 128MB of memory and all 5 PCI slots populated (3 SCSI adapters [NCR/SYMBIOS] and a #9 GXE64Pro graphics card are in the other 4). The system gets through probing and boot ok, but as it starts to bring up network daemons they either hang or get RPC timeouts. BTW, this behavior is the same with either my new SMC9332DBT or my old 21040 based card (its DEC adapter, but I don't know model number off hand) > -- > Matt Thomas Internet: matt@3am-software.com > 3am Software Foundry WWW URL: http://www.3am-software.com/bio/matt.html > Westford, MA Disclaimer: I disavow all knowledge of this message -- Bob Willcox Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made bob@luke.pmr.com President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
