Question: when installing Mandrake and networking, it asked for the type
of NIC I had...well my card type (above) wasn't listed so I choose SMC
Ultra...do you think it has anything to do with using this driver rather
than one for my NIC that's more exact? I checked SMC's website and I
believe that it has a driver for my specific card...or am I being stupid?
