Unfortunately, we can't commit to using the 100Mbit hub until we can be sure it'll work with the server on it. However, we may be able to set up a few machines on the hub if I have a reasonable amount of confidence in the drivers.. :) I have noticed that there is a driver for this card (or at least, this chipset) available in alpha for Linux. Any hope of porting it? (I have not got the knowledge to undertake such a task myself.. I'm only a games writer!) I'd hate to have to drop down to Linux just because of some stupid net driver... :( Cheers, Gid _____________________________________________________________________________ /~` ( Tom Gidden Gid's Games: _the_ internet games site (_,~(| Office: +44 (0) 117 954 5105 E-mail: gid@gids-games.com ' Mobile: +44 (0) 976 690 578 WWW: http://www.gids-games.com
