If you have this adaptor, and use either 10baseT or aui (thicknet), you must specify the "link2" flag in /etc/hostname.ep0. For example, mine looks like: 128.32.42.147 netmask 0xffffff00 link2 If this is not the problem (and I am only taking a shot in the dark), then be more specific about what your problem and hardware is. -- Justin T.
