In all fairness applying that might fix the problem, it's possible if unlikely that the new driver tickles a bug the stable sk98lin driver didn't. Does skge work for your hardware? Based on a sample size of one (four to go) everything worked for me except NFS, jumbo packets work with tcp, not with udp. I don't have everything nailed down enough for a proper bug report, it's just something to note. In truth there's little to choose between tcp and udp for machines in the same room, I could live with skge. haven't tried shy2, there was a build failure on my last server build, won't look at it until Monday. -- Bill Davidsen "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot
