I applied the patches and rebuilt the kernel. Upon rebooting with both netgear fa120 ethernet devices attached (with the new axe driver), both devices are recognized, one is configured and nothing works (i.e., in spite of the one device being configured, it is dead). Thanks for the help Ian. I wonder if anyone else has any ideas. Or, maybe I should head over to the 'current' group and try there? Andy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
