--------------3016C2A07E702217361505E7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Heya Andrew, Due to the holidays and such it's taken longer than expected but i'm back on ticking off the possible causes of the problem i'm facingwith getting my network card going under linux 2.4. I've setup a RedHat 6.1 system with the 2.2.12 kernel as a baseline. (Using that atm to write this email, as you can see ...) It uses pump-0.7.2-2, and has NO dhcp client is installed. This works flawlessly after i compiled the driver into the kernel and set the netmask for the eth0 interface to 255.255.248.0. I've also setup a RedHat 7.1 system with the 2.4.2 kernel. It uses pump-0.8.11-1 and dhcpcd-1.3.18. What was that bet for? It doesn't change anything at all ... besides the fine manuals autonegotation allready recognised the thing correctly by the looks of it. I set out to try and make the 2.4's setup as close to the 2.2's setup as possible: 1) removed dhcpcd, let pump take care of it ... 2) replaced pump-0.8.11-1 with pump-0.7.2-2 ... All was to no avail. Than i even went to such lengths as to replaced the 2.4's driver source file with the 2.2's driver source file but couldn't get that to compile, I also tried in vain to install the netdriver-2.1.src.rpm ... Anyways, i'm afraid all this boils down to the driver being the only uncertain factor ... Any ideas on how to take it from here? Mazzel, Martijn. P.S.
