Re: Woody Stable and Kernel 2.4.21
#include hallo.h * Jason Lim [Wed, Jul 02 2003, 10:51:35PM]: Nowadays, many motherboards have built-in ethernet ports. The most common seem to be either the SiS chipset (SIS900) or Intel's one (don't know what model number... but i think eepro or something?) Realtek is the most common PCI one... virtually all cheap PCI LAN cards have Realtek chipsets. All mentioned cards are supported by the bf2.4 kernel or will be supported by the next generations of boot-floppies. What is your problem? The broadcom things are not supported just because the stupid drivers are not part of the normal vanilla kernel. Not THAT many. Actually, I like the way Redhat does it. IMHO Redhat has one of the best installation procedures going. With the 3ware card installed, it automatically loads up the 3w.o (i think that's what it's called?). bf2.4 loads the 3ware driver. Some exotic controllers are only supported if you insert a module-preload disk with scsi drivers and load them manually. There is no good way to fix it, we cannot include every driver on _one_ floppy.

Debian's one big weakness that I see is in the installation procedure. No easy for newbies, not flexible for power-users. Same FUD again and again... Woody's BFs have been improved much. And power-users do not need a GUI to setup Raid.
