My guess would be the ed driver, but a quick attempt didnot work. >Lacking any docs on the card I'm just guessing my way around. The 83902 is compatible with other 8390 type NICs and would work with the ed driver if was going to work. The card-specific interface may be unusual, however, and require driver changes before it will work. Sorry I can't be more specific. -DG
