Make sure you specify your configuration on the driver command line since the autoconfigure option does not work. Alas, a DEPCA is not a DEPCA is not a DEPCA. They changed the board incompatibly between revision D and E, so that revision E does not work with the existing packet driver. Also, the Turbo DEPCA gets the Ethernet address wrong, although it works otherwise. -- --russ <nelson@clutx.clarkson.edu> I'm proud to be a humble Quaker.
