If you are seeing: "eth0: card reports no RX buffers." "eth0: card reports no resources." then the same problem has been observed on ia32 machines, and is believed to be a bug in the eepro100 driver. Just do something like ifconfig eth0 down ifconfig eth0 up and it will go away. If it doesn't go away, repeat until it does. Alternatively, you can go into /etc/rc.d/init.d and do ./network stop ./network start I don't know anything about kernel workarounds for the problem. A kernel person would have to comment on that. If there is a kernel problem, then that might explain why this ethernet problem shows up more frequently on some kernel versions than others. Jim
