Looking at the debug output you provided, it seems your BIOS doesn't set the MAC address correctly, but uses 01:23:45:67:89:ab instead. > Now I tried your driver and I get the same results but with a lot more > of debug output. Could you boot into MS-Windows and try to find out the MAC address from there, then set this MAC address under Linux with ifconfig, using the forcedeth driver since nvnet can't handle setting the MAC address manually. Oh, and the output of lspci -vvvxxx as root would probably give an additional clue what happens/ where the MAC address is stored. Carl-Daniel
