The Linksys site does not even list a NC100 card.
I thought that it might be the same as the LNE100TX but without the WOL.
The reason I was curious enough to look is that I use the Linksys LNE100TX
in my home network.
I have 6 machines using the cards, Versions 2, 4, and 4.1.
The Version 2 card is auto set-up by netconfig in 7.2 during installation.
For Versions 4 and 4.1 you need to use linuxconf after installation and pick
the tulip driver mod. (The system I did this on had the Freak update
installed.)
In Mandrake 8.0 all versions of the card are auto detected and set-up during
installation.
