I have seen the same thing. BugZilla time? I have a Xircom CardBus Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 (RBEM56G-100) and a Dell Inspiron 4150. With Null, I won't do DHCP, but if I statically configure an IP address it works. I don't think it is a Dell issue, I suspect a xircom_cb issue. Dax Kelson
Sounds more like a driver issue with that card driver.
