I use this card and it works very well on both the Ethernet and modem sides. But you MUST be running current. It will work on 5.1 when that comes out in a week or so. It will not work with any V4 release or stable as it is a CardBus (32-but) card. Only the Ethernet interface will work with 5.0. Finally, last I checked, removing the card (even on current) will panic the system. If you insert this card, leave it there until you shut down the system. R.
