This one may be covered by the "8139too" Linux driver. If "modprobe 8139too" fails to fix the problem, then you either don't have the driver enabled, or the standard RTL-8139 driver does not cover your card. > Macronix, Inc.

Have you tried just putting the card in and using it? That's normally all you have to do. Open a terminal and type "lsmod". It should show you the drivers currently in use. Using that output, you can see which drivers are being used for your network interfaces. If it doesn't work with your Linux installation, try a live-cd based distro like Knoppix, or the Ubuntu install CD. -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
