I thought that it might be the same as the LNE100TX but without the WOL. The reason I was curious enough to look is that I use the Linksys LNE100TX in my home network. I have 6 machines using the cards, Versions 2, 4, and 4.1. The Version 2 card is auto set-up by netconfig in 7.2 during installation. For Versions 4 and 4.1 you need to use linuxconf after installation and pick the tulip driver mod. (The system I did this on had the Freak update installed.) In Mandrake 8.0 all versions of the card are auto detected and set-up during installation. Charles (-: Forever never goes beyond tomorrow.

I've installed 7.2. I have 2 Linksys cards version 2 and ver 4. The ver 2 has a Lite-On-PNIC2 chip and the ver 4 reports AMDtek Comet ver 17, both of them use, i think tulip modules and works fine for me straight from the box.

Ron, I have version 2. The standard tulip.o that ships with Mandrake 7.2 doesn't work. The driver disk has a linux directory, but it simply contains a readme.txt that tells you to download the latest tulip.c, pci-scan.c and kernel_compat.h and compile tulip and pci-scan and install. My problem is that I can't get gcc to compile tulip or pci-scan, I just get reems of errors. I need help on how to get the tulip.c to compile. Thanks for the information, I'll keep chasing this problem down.. -- David Rankin Nacogdoches, Texas
[expert] Need HELP Compiling tulip.c for Linksys NC100 NIC
I need serious help! I can't compile the tulip.c driver I obtained from scyld.com. (I must be a complete idiot) I am not too familiar with gcc, so I think my problem may be not having the -I[location] information right or possibly a problem with header version conflicts. My setup: AMD K6 233/64M ram Fresh Install - Linux Mandrake 7.2 (odessy) Stock distro 2.2.17 kernel Linksys NC100 "network anywhere" 10/100 NIC tulip.c v0.92 4/17/200, downloaded from scyld.com ... NIC works fine in windoze ... The tulip.o that ship with LM7.2 doesn't work. The NIC documentation, mailing list archive info, and info at scyld.com say to download the current tulip.c driver file, along with pci-scan.c and kern_compat.h and then compile tulip.o and pci-scan.o and it should work. I CAN'T GET tulip.c or pci-scan.c TO COMPILE! --- I NEED HELP! What I've done: (1) downloaded tulip.c, pci-scan.c and kern_compat.h to /usr/src/linux/modules (2) tried to compile with the suggested options of: gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/modules -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c '[ -f /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversion.h ] && echo -DMODVERSIONS' also tried many other combination, including gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -c tulip.c All I get is a ton of error messages and I don't know enough to know what I'm doing wrong, but do know enough to know I need to ask for help with this one. The first few lines of the errors I get are shown below. I have attached a large dump of the errors to this message. I know it must be something simple, but I can't tell where things are going wrong.
