I got a Western Digital EtherCard Plus Elite last week. The packet driver that
comes with it crashes in Windows. The readme file for the driver that came
with it says that sine this card uses a new chip, you HAVE to use the
new driver. Yet the old driver seems to work fine and their own driver
most certainly does invariably crash big time. You figure this out!
And if you do, PLEASE POST.
