As there is a possibility of info being logged, but not being written and saved on disk, I would like you to switch to the logging console (Ctrl+Alt+F10) immediately after bringing the system up and starting the connection. Does anything show there? I do not have access to a card like yours, but I have tested with a 14e4:4311, which is similar. Larry
