I was just complaining that they replaced the netcard I
standardized on to add a feature that I don't need or care about.
This, of course, sent me on an wild goose chase and debugging of a
driver that had some text errors in its .NIF file. The card works
fine now so I believe that in my case, if I don't use the WOL
capability, it's just a dead issue.

Don't bother, but thanks anyway. Now that I know how to handle
the card it's not a big deal anymore. I can handle the mixed
environment of TX and TX+ cards now. I was just a little sore at
the waste of time of sorting out the issue.

Thanks again.
