Well I bought a stack of these cards as we are setting up a lot of new machines and they were $20 each and I've had good luck with Linksys before.. they are also stamped Linux tested. Unfortunately they came with very little in the way of sueful documentation and thus far none of them have worked out of the box with any version of Linux I've tried (now standing at Suse 6.2, 6.4, and 6.4 PPC as well as RedHat 6.2 and Mandrake 7). On the Suse machines I spent quite some time trying to recompile the tulip drivers. Often the drivers would not compile at all and when they did they still didn't work. Do you know any way other than trial and error to find the right version? The problem I'm told is the new WOL support. :P *^*^*^* Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sungod robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you? -- Real Genius On Fri, 22 Sep 2000, Craig Woods wrote: > Michael, > > The Linksys takes a driver called tulip, and the trick is to get the right > version for your card.
