I do not appreciate overbroad comments along the lines of "Because card X doesn't work in distro Y, distro Y is negligent to desktop Linux." Red Hat is negligent toward desktop Linux for other reasons. =) You have identified a bug probably with a new revision of the LNE100TX. Can you find the card revision version? The Linksys web page has several pictures to help you identify the version by reading the chips onboard. http://www.linksys.com/download/driver.asp?dlid=2&osid=6 Is this a brand new retail card? If so, may I borrow the card or I will buy one in order to test it myself and be sure it works in Limbo beta. Please let me know where you bought it, and the revision version #. After I figure out this card, I'll build you custom RPM's with kernel drivers that should work in Red Hat 7.3.
