Hi, N.B. The OP's subject line is too vague. You'd probably get more help with a more specific description of the problem. Some people don't have time to pore over all the various threads.
Anyways, please keep reading below, I'll (weakly) respond inline.

Blame your manufacturer directly (write them an email, offer to pay them, etc).

What kind of computer? What network card? What does Linux detect it has?

Because of this I cant use any network functions. >> How do I fix this? Well, the obvious answer (that you seem to avoid, why?) is to use an emulator / hypervisor like VirtualBox. It works there, at least. I know that's not necessarily ideal, but it's better than nothing. Some of the more obvious packet drivers are in the set from Crynwr: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.1/repos/net/crynwr.zip However, once again, you have to know exactly what you want and how to set it up. I don't remember the details on searching for specific PCI IDs, so you'll have to hope that someone like Eric Auer or Bernd Blauw chime in here. Presumably you use something like PCISLEEP or BERNDPCI: 1). http://ericauer.cosmodata.virtuaserver.com.br/soft/pcisleep-2005mar12.zip 2). http://ericauer.cosmodata.virtuaserver.com.br/soft/specials/berndpci.zip Wasn't there some database of all the various PCI devices? Was it some website? Anyone remember? (Probably Eric does.) Hmmm, maybe this is it: http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ Hope some of this helps!
