Hi:

I am having trouble with a Packet Engines GNIC-II card and hope that
someone on this mailing list finds this familiar and/or can give me some 
direction.

I am running RH 6.1 with 2.2.13 Kernel using Becker's v.11 driver. 
( 466 mhz celeron on ABIT BM6 MB ). My problem is that when I reboot
system - without powering off computer I always seem to pick the board
up as 64-bit and I cannot use the card.

message from /var/log/messages after I try to ping another device via
the GNIC card...

If I completely power computer off and start up, I get the following 
in /var/log/messages, and system seems to work fine.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a force32 flag in driver to overide bus width detection. I have
tried setting that to "1" but no change. 



I would appreciate any help you could give me. 

Thanks
