Hi all,
I've searched around and found several likely looking suspects
that should do the job but can anyone recommend a good one?
I'm after something that will produce some stats on the amount
of data in and out and preferably to/from which ip address on
my local network (and maybe the to/from

you should do up some posters advertising it for display at
the slug stand at the PC show/Linux expo since it'll be the

I'm using postfix and mutt. I have my From address set to the
email.com domain but my machine's FQDN is spiral.localnet and
I have postfix setting the hostname to spiral and the domain
to homeip.net. The problem is the Sender header gets set to

ah so it's not just me. You've explained why I use fvwm on

Sorry, I read what you wrote again and I misread it the
first time (I thought you were saying they went to the bit
bucket instead of your inbox).

OK, well that Dlink DFE-530TX ethernet card I asked
about last week just doesn't work.
I've tried it in 2 different PCs and with Debian 2.2,
RH 7.0 and esmith 4.0 and none of them can load the
via-rhine module. It's always the same "device busy"
errors. I've tried different PCI slots, tried s

Hi all,
as the subject says, I've switched to a Dlink DFE-530TX
pci ethernet card - which I believe is supported but
I can't find which module to use.
I've grepped all the doco and kernel net source but can
only find references to the 600/620 pcmcia cards.
It's debian 2.2 potato if that matters.
