2000-01-01 Thread Ryan Sumstad

2000-01-01 Thread Pete Clapham
Hi, all -- Does anybody know what the NIC driver for the SMC 8416 card is? It isn't under SMC (but then neither of the other two SMC cards I am using is there either). The card in question is an older ISA card, and I suspect that the linux support is by the chipset rather than the card manu
