> > What motherboard? PCI Slots? >From the motherboard manual: ASUS(R) P2L97-DS AGP Mainboard Supporting Dual Intel Pentium II (233-333 MHz) Processors, Intel 440LX AGPset, Accelerated Graphics Port, Hardware Monitoring (Optional), PCI Bus Master IDE, Fast/Wide SCSI, SDRAM. Its a 300MHz dual processor PII with 256MB of RAM. 4 PCI slots, and 2 ISA slots.

If I comment out the 2 mandatory lines in the SMP kernel config file, i.e. turn it into uni-processor mode, and reconfigure, compile and reinstall the OS then the ethernet card works fine. I need SMP on this machine and I need to be able to get this machine's NIC working on the network. > > Simon > > Dave.
