Thats because there aren't enough people that actually USE legacy hardware working to support the drivers. I'm aware of a few outstanding 3c509 problems but until I get my test systems up and running there isn't a whole lot I can do about them. The variety of 3c509s out there and the annoying little bugs they exhibit doesn't make it easy to track down each weird problem a user experiences. You've had 5 years to get yourself up to speed; why haven't I seen any patches from you lately? -- | Matthew N.
