I'd be the first to admit it's far from perfect, *but*, 90% of the problems people have had with it have been solved by tweaking their configuration. Perhaps you could post the contents of your /etc/pccard_ether, /etc/rc.conf and the relevant part of /etc/pccard.conf? The Xircom-OEMed COmpaq cards do work perfectly well for a lot of people, so my money's still on this being an IRQ problem. > I thought that DHCP as autoconfiguration tool and development BOOTP > WAS actually invented as mean of taking trouble of manual configuration > from you.

What you say about DHCP is true, but it's easier to isolate the problem if we reduce the number of things that aren't working -- clearly DHCP is going to fail if the network card isn't behaving, so let's get rid of it until we know we have a good network link. Scott P.S. *Please* could you quote your replies in a more normal way -- it's very difficult to tell who wrote what in your message, and I wrote half of it :-) I suspect you're using Outlook; it definitely can be configured to put a marker character at the start of quoted text, although I can't remember which menu option it is right now.
