Well, I tried the list but received no response at all. I am willing to give it another try though. Here is the information: was very happy with the way 8.2 installed on my Laptop at home last night. It was a breeze to setup even my wireless network. Happy, I went this morning to work, plugged the ethernet cable into the laptop's built-in ethernet port and then disaster... I cannot connect to the network. The laptop (an IBM Thinkpad A21p with a built-in mini-pci 3com 3C556B) worked fine with previous versions of SuSE, using the same driver. It also works fine with Gentoo Linux. Luckily, I have two HDs, the other one on which Gentoo is installed, so at least I was not out of commission, but I am not sure how to proceed from here. lsmod shows that the correct module is loaded (3c59x). The messages file shows the following: PCI: Enabling device 00:03.0 (0000 -> 0003) ... 00:03.0: 3Com 3c556B Laptop Hurricane at 0x1800. Vers LK1.1.16 At this point something must go wrong since all information regarding this card shows the values ff: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:03.0 to 64 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, IRQ 11 product code ffff rev ffff.15 date 15-31-127 00:03.0: CardBus functions mapped f0101000->d98be000 Full Duplex Capable Internal config register is ffffffff, transceivers 0xffff. 1024K word-wide RAM 3:5 Rx:Tx Split, autoselect/<invalid transceiver> Enabling bus-master transmits and early receives. 00:03.00: scatter/gather enabled , h/w checksums enabled eth0: command 0x5800 did not complete! status=0xffff eth0: command 0x2804 did not complete! status=0xffff eth0: command 0x3002 did not complete! status=0xffff last message repeated 2 times. ifconfig shows a mac address of ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. I hope I didn't make a mistake in the text above. I have to take a snapshot of the screen with my digicam and then type the text manually... Any idea what may the problem be?

So what now, I am just SOL?
I think this is what the email list is for...
