I have 2 of these at rl0 and rl1. The rl0 correctly auto dectects to "100baseTX full-duplex", however, the one at rl1 dectects to "10baseT/UPT". Thus, I use "ifconfig" to set rl1 to "100baseTX full-duplex" and all is well. However!!! if I then set the inet address to say 192.168.1.1 (or whatever), the card no longer transmits data (the LED light on the back of the card even goes out). Also, the LED light on the HUB corresponding to this card starts blinking rapidly. Any help? Thank you very much, Chris. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Staskewicz http://www.math.utah.edu/~cjs --------------------------------------------------------------------
