BTW, I have a couple of DE500-XA (the older model, using the 21140). Now they have the DE500-AA that uses the newer 21140A chip. Does the de driver get along with it? I know that newer versions of the SMC 21240 based cards break, so I just want to check if anyone had problems with the DE500-AA. [snip] Nadav
