Like someone else stated, the sk98lin driver works fine with that motherboard. I use it with 9.2 and it works perfectly. Also, some other people suggested using the 3c2000 drivers. While they work, when I last used them with Mandrake 9.1, they didn't work very well. Certain sites couldn't be resolved (google!) and there were some other issues that were more than annoying. Don't know if those issues have been fixed since then though. So if you want to upgrade, 9.2 works fine, just choose the syskonnect/sk98lin drivers. Or you can patch/recompile your kernel with the proper patch from syskonnect.com.

Okay, looking at the Mandrake Database of supported hardware I know it's not supported. It's even not mentioned there. I have a ASUS P4P800 Motherboard with a built-in Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Model and Chipset 3Com 3c940. Autodetection doesn't work and even selecting it manually doesn't work, because it's not in the list and all other available 3Com models won't work. Does anyone by any chance know how to let this Ethernet Adapter work under Mandrake? (I have 9.0 installed, but in the Mandrake Database 3C940 is not even mentioned for Mandrake 9.2, so upgrading wouldn't help I'm afraid. I don't need 1GB speed by the way (10 Mbps is enough my cablemodem provider offers me a download rate of 2 Mbps). Cheers Yvan
