James,
I'd love to - I just don't have any 64-bit PCI NIC cards lying about :( The
MoBo in this box has 5 or 6 PCI slots, but they are ALL 64-bit.
I also noticed another poster raised the same problem a few days ago using
4.7. Do you know of a specific patch to the bge driver which is in -STABLE,
or was this suggestion really just a best guess suggestion?
BTW: my question sounds cheeky - but I mean it sincerely.
Thanks,
Patrick.
