I have a Linksys LNE100TX which works fine with the tulip driver. It is not
detected during install, so you have to hand-configure it with
DrakConf+.Linuxconf=>Networking=>Basic Networking Services=>adapter x
where x is the first one showing no card
device name is eth(x-1) etho for adapter 1 eth1 for adapter-2 etc.
IP address is blank if you use dhcp otherwise put something in there, like
the address you want the rest of the network to see the card as. Netmask
should be something like 255.255.255.0 or 255.0.0.0 depending on what sort of
address you have. module is tulip.
Tick 'enabled' and quit quit quit.
Make sure there is an entry in /etc/hosts that has the hostname you used for
the card and its ip address, ip address first.
As root from a terminal, type
service network restart
check that eth(whatever) is running by typing ifconfig and reading the output.
