The chipset is the NVIDIA nForce 3 250Gb. I'm using gentoo, and have compiled kernel 2.6.7 (gentoo-dev-sources, if you're familiar with gentoo) with the forcedeth-bk4 and forcedeth_gigabig_try19 patches. I have compiled the forcedeth driver as a module (It is the 10/100 forcedeth driver that is patched to handle 1000, right?). When I try to start up the network I get the following messages in my syslog: eth0: phy init failed to autoneg eth0: no link during initialization (I had the NIC connected to a switch at the time, in case that is what is meant by the "no link" bit) Is there something simple that I missed, like module parameters, or is this a more complicated issue? Tonight I will try to enable debugging in the code, to see if I can get some more information for you. I would be more than willing to help you out with any testing you need. Is there anything else I can do to help? Lars
