Please upgrade to k_athlon-2.4.21-166 because that has many security fixes you'll need. Simply issue an online update or download ftp://ftp.leo.org:/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/i586/k_athlon-2.4.21-166.i586.rpm and install it with yast -i k_athlon-2.4.21-166.i586.rpm Then download the latest (dated 3004-01-19) forcedeth.o from http://www.hailfinger.org/carldani/linux/patches/forcedeth/ and copy it to /lib/modules/2.4.21-166-athlon/kernel/drivers/net/ and run lilo if needed (you probably use grub so this won't apply). Now reboot and everything should be fine. HTH, Carl-Daniel -- http://www.hailfinger.org/
