I'll try that tomorrow and report my findings. Though the cards seem to work post-install, they fail in the install program. I can transfer files to my hearts content using the ftp program... but if I go into the installer and try to transfer a distribution , it fails, locking in the same way. I'm talking with Intel to see if they have had similar problems. I read something in the source about the reciever has locked after garbage in the syncronization bits... could it be a similar problem with the new chip, perhaps exposed by certain types of equipment? > >Any suggestions as to what I should look into? > It sounds like a motherboard chipset problem. It's a standard intel chipset... I'm getting a replacement BIOS to see if that makes a difference.
