I have been using the onboard transceiver. I sometimes get error messages from the TDR code, but the card has always worked. The TDR check on the ni5210, 3c523, and ni9210 is advisory only. The packet driver requests the 82586 to perform a TDR check, and then reports the results. Any error other than "Check your cable" is probably spurious and should be ignored. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) Russ.Nelson@$315.268.6667 Violence never solves problems, it just changes them into more subtle problems
