No, I'm saying the physical machine didn't match the configuration (since you can't edit that part of the configuration at boot any more). I believe in previous releases the card might timeout or otherwise not work, but it didn't crash the machine. One would prefer the driver does what the SMC NDIS drivers do, which is ask the card; I really other cards, such as true NE2000's, may not allow asking the card where the memory is. -ahd- -- Internet: ahd@kew.com Voice: 617-279-9810 "Debug is human, de-fix divine."
