After posting my previous reply, it occurred to me to suggest that running the softset utility, and making sure that the connector (AUI/BNC/TP) is explicitly set and not set to autodetect might be worth doing, as the link flags for this driver (used to?) relate to selecting the media. If you're connecting via a switch, it might not be negotiating reliably. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
