Thanks Lawson. It was a ps2. 's working now.
I am now stuck on getting my d-link DFE530TX NIC to work. I've never
compiled before and the only solution I can find is at
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/via-rhine.html with the
via-rhine.c
I've tried compiling and can't get it to work. I've used the command at the
end of the file and the generic one on the page.
My next class is C++, but I can't wait til Feb to get this. Help? Please?
I'm using RedHat 4 til my upgrade arrives. Just ordered 6.1 last night.
TIA again,
John
