Re: [expert] USB NIC?
Yes, the USB does limit the speed of the connection. But there are many 100Mbit USB ethernet cards out there. Probably has better compatibility for places where they only have 100Mbit hubs or something. Anyway, only the Linksys 100TX is known to work. I've heard suggestions not to use the 10Mbit version. I got one for $40 at Frys. John Kim Linux System Engineer @ ASL - visit us as www.aslab.com On Thu, 20 Apr 2000, Jean-Louis Debert wrote: > "John D.

Re: [expert] USB NIC?
The kernel has some USB support, but it is very outdated. You can download a backport of usb from kernel 2.3.50 to 2.2.14. I got myself a Linksys 100TX for my iopener. Haven't had a chance to play with it yet, though... The backport can be downloaded from...lets see if I can find it... http://www.suse.cz/development/usb-backport/ John Kim Linux System Engineer @ ASL - visit us as www.aslab.com On Wed, 19 Apr 2000, Hoyt wrote: > I heard that 7.0 has some USB support.
