Ciao Carl Fink,
Another thing, is the dselect program: it is quite
difficult to use...
Yes, ever more difficult too as the number of packages increases.
But what dselect disguises is an excellent package management tool.
You might find apt a better front-end to use. Try man
yes, they are both pci cards

I tried it and returned it in favor or Debian Gnu/Linux package.
some of the newer RTL8139 cards need a newer driver, and there are a few
other there (some come from a company called SMC) that are mislabled and
need an updated driver to work as well.
I have several RTL8139-based cards running great in linux. the driver
seems to be better then the 3com one,
woulda been nice if storm had updated X before releasing. seems like they
are still using 3.3.2.3 (?) none of my videocards work with that : doh!
of course i only spent about 30 mins trying to install it..
