Linux doesn't use Becker's driver for realtek 81(2|3)9 cards anymore. It uses a rewritten version of Becker's driver which isn't as good (but apparently it was to Linus) for reason's listed at http://www.scyld.com/network/rtl8139.html. Also compatibility with the Hurd's Linux driver base shouldn't be a problem because like Alfred said he writes his drivers very backwards compatible. -rian _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
