"3C501" would be, if I remember correctly, 3Com's first PC Ethernet card, circa 1985. I'd say something is being improperly identified. Even Fedora really does think you have a 3C501 when you don't, or Fedora thinks you have something else, but is loading the wrong driver. Interesting. This: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=60870 suggests that it's a bad diagnostic; the system is trying to tell you it could not load the driver for *your* NIC, but incorrectly reports it could not load the 3C501 driver. You might try running "system-config-network" to see what the system thinks you have. According to http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/drivers.php?categories=1&model=311 your motherboard has a "Realtek 8118B Gigabit" network controller. I'm not having much luck finding info on that. Is it perhaps a very new or unusual chip? The one interesting find I made was http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-108031.html which suggests building the driver from source -- yuck. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
