    Hi,

      I'm having problems with my first Linux installation (so expect some
    naivite). The Ethernet card - a 3C905-TX on an MSI K7N2G mobo - is a real
    mare!! Let me say that all works well under WinXP. The NIC is connected to
    the Cable modem (ftom ntl in the UK).

      I had loads of trouble getting the board to go "active" at all, but
    finally managed after I turned off kudzu ("chkconfig kudzu off" and a
    reboot). Now I can ping and browse, but everything goes at a snail's pace.
    If I ping the BBC website I get 50% packet loss.

      I've spent a LOT of time with this now so help would be greatly
    appreciated.

    Many thx,
       Mike

    PS I tried to work with the on-board nVIDIA ethernet but that wasn't
    recognised, and nVIDIA don't supply a driver for core 2.4.22-1.2115
