RE: Re: Suggested module for PCI LAN Card..?
I use the Linksys PCI NIC in my linux router box and it uses the tulip driver without incident. It is running under suse 7.2 with kernel 2.4.16 and runs perfectly every time @ 100 mbps, whereas the realtek 8139 in the same machine can't handle the 2.4.16 kernel and sticks @ 10 mbps.

We stopped using the LinkSys NICs because they didn't work all that well with the Tulip drivers unless you used ones with their patches. It's been a couple of years since we last tried this so they may be better now. Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.

RE: Re: Suggested module for PCI LAN Card..?
Netgear is great and rtl8139 has troubles for me above kernel 2.4.4. Bye, Keith B.

Although d-link's that use the rtl8039(?) module is broken in kernel 2.4.2 to about 2.4.9(?). I know my d-link wouldn't transmit or recieve packets with 2.4.2 stock W3.1 kernel. I swapped it out for my 3com and it works fine. I've since upgraded to kernel 2.4.16 and haven't put the d-link back in to test it. I've heard good things about netgear and some good and bad about linksys.
