Hi Josef,
I've currently got 2 PCI ethernet cards in my system. I have a 3c509BTX and
a Linksys Lan Card II(Both 100mbs). I've tried linking the driver to both
and it crashes(Actually, I figured if I disabled the PGP VPN client that I
should not have any problems as long as I don't use it, but the system still
crashes randomly).
I uninstalled the software and am currently for other stand-alone products
to try. Any suggestions?
