The first observation I would make is that as long as that network card fails, you won't get dsl working. I would start by double checking the driver you are using for the card. You may want to check the card's disks and/or web site as well. A few cards have linux drivers available for them. I have one card that must use a modified tulip driver. If you use the standard, it looks like it might work, but never does. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net The mind is like a parachute; it works much better when open.
