If you have eCS 2.0 RC 7 media:

  1. Go to x:\CID\SERVER\ECSPKG (where x: is the drive letter of your
     CD drive) and run GENMAC2.WPI.
  2. The installer will autodetect any supported cards and will install
     the drivers for them.
  3. Open MPTS, and you should be able to select your newly installed
     network card from the list. Bind it as you normally would, *after*
     removing the "old" card from the configuration, if present.

If you do not have the eCS 2.0 installation media:

  1. Go to http://genmac.netlabs.org/en/site/downloads.xml and download
     the full installer (unless you know which card is in the system).
  2. Run the WPI file, and then follow steps 2-3, above.

Thanks much for your reply, Lewis.  I haven't kept up with the RCs 
beyond #5, but I will soon.  In the meantime, I have a more immediate 
problem.  (This veers well OT, but with your indulgence I thought I 
might draw upon the wisdom to be found here.)  I've been intending 
to make Shuttle XPC #2 (AMD 6400 dual core, 4 meg.s Ram, a 9800 GT 
video card) my 'Go To' machine, replacing an older single-core P4 
based Shuttle.  But it is down for the count just now.  I had been 
having some problems booting -- nothing coming up on the monitor -- 
and at first I was thinking in terms of some video issue, either 
with the video card or the monitor.  But now I am thinking it is 
neither.  When I tried to boot it up last night, I briefly got a 
static screen from the BIOS that mentioned a CMOS checksum error, 
and going into "Safe Mode." Note that this is pre-OS, so we're 
_not_ talking about the Safe Mode of Windoze.  Attempts to boot 
it up again have not been successful.

Electrical is still happening, so it's probably not the power 
supply (?).  My first thought is towards something heat related. 
I notice that the fan noise seems to be less than half of its 
normal volume.  I will check the fan situation, but would welcome 
other troubleshooting suggestions, particularly from anyone 
familiar with the Shuttle line of small form factor computers. 

I was about to slap one of those NIC cards in and move on to 
the wireless stuff, re the Linksys router, but this is going to 
be on hold for awhile (at least for this computer) until I get 
this problem ironed out.
