How can I overcome this issue. I personally use this type of card with a 4.2-RELEASE system and don't have any trouble with it. However I do seem to remember getting this error message once or twice. Here's some ideas for you... - Are you dual booting the system or have you had NT on this computer? If so have you tried powering the system on and off (I have to ask :-) ) and have you looked in the systems BIOS to check for any OS specific options? This may be a stab in the dark depending on exactly what kind of system you have there. - Have you compiled a custom kernel? If so did you include miibus? If you're not sure you should have this line in your kernel config file... device miibus # MII bus support and, of course, this one... device rl # RealTek 8129/8139 Aaron _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
