Thanks Larry for the help!
I have tried the patches and now it works better but the network still stops
working after a while (and DNS lookup doesn't work at all?).

The question is how different the 8197 and 8198 are. They can't be totally incompatible
since the driver almost works?

Unfortunately I haven't got ndiswrapper to work with the card. I have tried the winxp driver
from toshiba, winxp driver from realtek and the win98 driver (forced) from realtek without success.
There are no error messages at all so I really do not know what the problem is.
