Well I haven't been able to get my Dlink USB 10/100 ethernet card to
work in Linux. It works fine in Windows though. There is a driver
called Pegasus (I think) that is supposed to work but I haven't been
successful and haven't been able to get any help on it here.

Subject: [newbie] USB ethernet vs NIC
Hello, I have installed Mandrake 7.2 on PC #1 and am very pleased. I now
plan
to install Linux on PC #2 but before I do I would like to have it
"network
ready" as I have recently switched to a cable modem ISP.
PC #2 does not have an ethernet card but it does have 2 USB ports. I
understand that there are USB ethernet adapters but I don't know all the
pros
and cons. Also, I imagine that it could be a chore to get Linux to
recognize
the USB ethernet connection.
Would I be better off to just install a ethernet NIC? Any pros and cons
and
advice using a USB adapter would be appreciated. Thanks.
