Thanks for the answer. I checked out the source and saw the Netgear TA620 supported by the acenic driver and I ordered two such cards. Before I sent the first email to linux-net I fired away a question to support@netgear.com about their card supporting jumbo frames and they have now answered me that they do NOT support jumbo frames. Do they not know what they're talking about, or is it only some acenic cards that are supported, or do the acenic driver support several cards that are quite different? -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
