 Hi Dave-

The card is marked: 

   Linksys EtherFast 10/100 PC Card
   model: PCMPC100

startup message from syslog: 

  NE2000 Compatable: io 0x300, irq 3 ....

its loading the 8390.o module, so its probably another (klunky 'ol) ne2000 clone.

hmmm, good thought. When I startup tcpdump, I don't see the usual "eth0: Promiscuous mode enabled" message.... Apparently the promisc request isn't getting all the way through the driver- 

 If it helps, here's some more info:

      kernel: 2.2.14 (unpatched, from master sources)

 Here is slightly filtered syslog:

 I appreciate any ideas or info-

 Thanks-

Message Administration

This form allows you to delete, move, or copy one or more messages. You can move messages by copying and deleting the original. The action will be applied to the messages you select above and all replies to those selected messages.

If you want to copy or move messages, specify the HyperNews path of a destination forum or message that all messages will be copied or moved to. The destination must already exist, so maybe create it first.

Path of Destination (a Forum or Message): (e.g. "test")

Notify Subscribers at destination
NO

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
NO

Caution: After deleteing messages (the default), if you have not copied them (i.e. no destination above), then the selected messages are not be recoverable.
