Wouter Hummelink w.f.hummelink@student.utwente.nl http://delenn.student.utwente.nl/~shadow According to tecChannel Via has confirmed the problem, and says it is working on a solution. However it is not clear whether new drivers will be enough, or whether it will need a redesign of the chipsets. There is an unofficial patch produced by George Breese of Networking Resources available here, but as tecChannel says, you use this at your own risk That doesn't sound like hardware to me. Also, I've seen test results from sources I respect which show pretty much the opposite.
