i just put in a LinkSys PCI 10-T NIC, and the RH 6 install didn't detect it so i just told it to use the NE2000 PCI driver. it seems to work (i got 239K/sec just now) so i think i'm ok, but i was just wondering if anybody had any bad experiences with doing this combo since i'm basically just telling it to treat the card (irrespective of the chipset) as any NE 2000 compatible PCI card. thanks, GT ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Gigabyte Gary, Professional Student ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/gpsi/ The University of Texas at Austin (http://www.utexas.edu) Computer Sciences Major (http://www.cs.utexas.edu) Spanish and Business Minors --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
