I have a feeling it only works well in the 2.4 kernel - most of the references I've come across all relate to that kernel. One of the references had a list of the NICs that sundance supported and they were mostly D-link and some IC Plus models like in my MoBo. Maybe I will look for used NIC somewhere.... > You might want to join the 'linux' list as well, and check out the > 'internal modems' thread. > > I'm subscribed to both lists, so I don't miss anything. > > > -- > -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ > . > > > To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed. > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ > YAHOO!
