Hi There,

Got the same problem on my Redhat 5.1.
Got plenty of help from the list.
Try using v0.79 driver. That get my 21143 card working at least for the
start.
Also got plenty of advice on hacking the v.89 driver that comes with my
Redhat to make it work, but yet to try.
I can forward u those mails if u like to do a bit of tweaking.

Regards
wongnu
