Is there a recommended card that I should be using? There are two problems. First of all, the card itself is too slow to keep up with full-speed transmissions. Secondly, the driver gets a receiver-not-ready interrupt and goes into fits because it doesn't know what to do, and eventually locks up. I've been sitting on the NetBSD version of this driver, which might fix these problems, but have avoided doing anything with it 'cos I haven't got one of those cards any more (and wouldn't take one if you gave it to me). -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
