[leaf-user] Module finder??

2002-05-05 Thread Kim Oppalfens

Hi all,

Just wondering if a module finder service exists?

Supposedly I have some sort of nic, which doesn't come with a linux module 
and the website of the manufacturer
doesn't mention anything about linux neither.

How would I go about finding the correct module? Does a list or search 
engine for such a thing exists?
Or would I do what I usually do in Linux trouble and ask this or some other 
list?

PS: It is just a hypothetical question, I am thinking about doing a 
presentation about leaf installation at work, and would like
to find a nice solution for this problem. (Since I think it is the most 
difficult part in the installation if you don't have one of the standard
modules included in most branches.)

I usually use this website to find the correct module.

I search for the manufacturer or the number on the chip.
Example: "82557" gives me eepro100

Or learn how to cheat and user other Linux distribution's documentation.

A good source of network driver information is located at
http://www.scyld.com/network/.

Other packages are being arranged by Pattrick Noyes on the LEAF site. 
But no module locator function exists as far as I know.
