The card is supported
The problem is i am using a BNC connection not a RJ45
the laptop dual boots windows and linux
windows has an option in the network config
to set the cards cable type , either to AutoDetect , Coax 10b2 or Twised Pair
when set to Coax 10b2 , lights come on the plug end of the card and it works
 
can this be emulated the same way in linux
i have been though the docs , but no clues
 
any ideas would be appreciated
 
Craig
