Craig,
What card are u using. Is it a tulip card based on Digital or LITE chips? I
am using Linksys 10/100 MB card and it uses the Lite chip as Matt says.
I had trouble with the card in 6.0 aso I downloaded the tulip source file
from Linksys and compiled as per the instructions and it worked.
Now in using LM 7.0-2 and the tulip driver installed without a hitch.
Cheers
Sridhar
