Some ABIT Motherboards are not compatible with NetGear 10/100 NIC Cards. I
know the KG7 is one of them, and it's a recent board.
Not sure why. I don't use NetGear NIC's, but I know it's been a nuisance
for some.
I have no doubt the problem is ABIT's since I know of no other
incompatibilities, but the fact remains the two don't go together in some
cases.

Also has anyone used the home phone line network method?
HPNA I think is the standard?
I know the KG7 has problems.

Mate, I got an ABIT KT7A-Raid with a Netgear NIC, and o'course the
netgear router I mentioned before.
I have never had any problems with the two, and that goes with for the
various bios updates I have used (now using the newest one).
I guess the problem you mention must be related to the KG7.
I've got a netgear NIC on my KG7, and it's working fine. I've only had it
for two weeks, so not a very complete test. This might be the last post I
send before it blows up.

You should review the ABIT newsgroup for info on this issue so you don't end
up chasing your tail if it causes a problem you can't figure out.
It may have been corrected in a later BIOS release, but KG7 Bioses after 5E
are so flakey I've never bothered to upgrade myself.
