Thanks, the driver names in RH9 were different than what I was looking
for, and once I saw something that fit, it fired off and works great. I
have a Netgear FA310 and it uses a tulip driver but RH9 lists that under
DEC 21*40. I found the reference on Donald Becker's page and worked it
out.

Thanks again everyone
