Thanks for the feedback. Problem was not with the chip, problem was a managed switch to which the box was inadvertently connected. Replaced switch with hub, tried with both ElRepo and Realtek drivers, can see TCP packets now from other computers. Labelled data cables better so mistake won't happen again. Nice to know that the switch did exactly what it was supposed to do. Sorry for the unnecessary noise. benm _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
