<br>
Sorry to ask a series of questions but:<br>
<br>
(1) what dependencies?<br>
(2) are you sure you require the atl1e driver?<br>
(3) what is the Vendor:Device ID pairing for the LAN card?<br>
<br>
I have never known the classic "sneakernet" technique to fail . . .<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Alan.<br>
