even i had the same problem once with a 4-5 yr old gateway2000 box and couldnt solve it.but luckily for me i had in hand a new Dell dimension 4800 ,the bios of which was good enough to rid of the watchdog errors.i think it is a bios and the pci adapter comaptibility issue.newer desktops have better bios and hence seems to work.hope this helps.i know this isnt a solution though:-) Vinod --- Alexander Leidinger <Alexander@Leidinger.net> wrote: > Hi, > > please keep me CCed, I'm not subscribed. > > I've two Orinocco OEM PCMCIA cards (WaveLAN), one in > my desktop system > (-stable from Feb. 5).
