Yes, you can probably continue to use your old driver, but actually any new vortex driver will probably work too if you disable bus mastering in the driver (assuming you have a 3c905 boomerang). If you've been following the vortex list, then you will have seen some of the solutions people have posted. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
