Hi all, from Edinburgh.

I have a couple of questions. First of all there's my netgear fa310 nic
and the driver for it. It can use the standard tulip.o but this seems to
be slower compared to the tulip driver supplied with the card which I
managed to compile on my previous redhat 6.1 dist. So I tried compiling
the same driver (tulip.c) on mandrake 7 and it comes up with pages of
errors (parse errors amongst others) and doesn't produce the tulip.o at
the end of it all. I have been led to believe that it's because mandrake
7 has a newer version of glibc (could this be the cause?) and netgear
have backed away from it.

My other question regards internet connection sharing. I am running
squid on my main machine and have a win 95 client connecting to it which
picks it's internet connection up through the squid proxy running on my
main machine. Is there a more efficient way to share a connection over
the network (ie not have squid eating up memory and cache space) ?

Thanks in advance

Keith Salter
