I tried the Ubuntu 11.04 bootable CD distribution. The Ubuntu boot froze when loading network drivers. Ubuntu didn't print out exactly which network driver was causing the problem. I therefore removed the card and the system booted OK. I've got a PCI Express D-Link AR5418 card coming so I'll let you know how that goes. Kind regards, Geoff
