Ok

My Network problems are Network related, changed my switch now.
The USB enabled kernel provided by Izumi is not booting, but if you =20
like you can test the one i compiled: =20
http://www.aironaut.ch/Cobalt/NetBSD3.0/netbsd
save the original kernel before you replace with this one :)
I also use a USB card with NEC chip.

Will test now USB again without having my Network issues

cheers
