Dear Manohar ,
I also faced same problems ,the documentation says Linux detects it
automatically if it is a pci card but if it is not listed in the list of
manufacturers of the card which comes during installation then u can't do
anything (as far as my knowledge goes).There is no provision ,so that during
installation if drivers are not in built the installation process will ask for
manufacturer floppy disks or cd to get it installed.
if somebody knows How to install pci 100 mbps card which is not listed in the
list which comes during installation pl . Help.
if answer is no for this then I think it is a major drawback of the os.
regards,
Vijay.
