Hi folks I have Linux up and running but no networking (or sound but I'll save that for another day). If I run up DrakConf and look into the Hardware config (Lothar) it shows the n/w card as a 'Lite-On Coomunication Inc LNE100TX'. I actually have a NetGear FA310TX which may or may not be the same card as this under the covers. However the I/O address and IRQ values are both -1 which suggest something is wrong. Also if I try to select another card using the Config tool the only NetGear card in the list is highlighted, again with values of -1 and if I click OK nothing changes. In the Network Config, if I pick the Basic Host option, the 'help' suggests I run a menu option to configure the network but that option is just not there. I'm OK with IP addresses etc as I used to run AIX systems. I ran the pnp utility but it claims to find no PNP cards. I looked at the Ethernet Howto but it looks very nuts & bolts compared to the rest of the V7 install. I think I just need info on how to get the system to configure and use the card. Interestingly the hub shows the card as active! Many thanks for considering this. ~#~
