I have subsequently tried an SMC card only to experience the same problem (it also emulates the Intel/DEC chip and hence uses the 'dc' driver). I found an old 10meg card with a Realtek chip emulating an NE2000, and that works OK (but I don't want to install a 10meg card in a new PC!) I also compared the code for the 'dc' driver from 4.5-RELEASE to -p5, and as far as I can tell there has not been any change there. I eagerly await some news here. Regards, Patrick.
