Some random thoughts: There should be NO need to specify full duplex, if you have to do that then you have some problem with your switch. Are you loading the driver as a module, or is it static? So, if you do this: get a cable and eliminate any switch, just a back to back connection between two machines, then if you load the driver and ifconfig address up... what happens?? Jack
