One little suggestion if anybody is wanting to know which network card to
use.
Take into consideration on what you want out of them as I didn't even think
of it at the time.
I wanted bandwidth control on my server at work which currently has 3 NICs (
LAN,Client on another floor, Internet) and I wanted to control the flow for
the internet link to prevent the 5MB emails to hog the bandwidth.
After looking around I found the Linux Bandwidth Manager at
http://www.etinc.com/bwmgrfaq.htm
This software only works on some network cards so that stuffed me right up
after buying the cards first...........
Anybody seen any FREE product to do protocol bandwidth control? Not the
linux SHAPER...
thanks,

Thanks George
My brain finally kicked in and I went to http://www.linux.org.au/LDP,
which reminded me of /usr/doc/HOWTO/Hardware*, which was what I was
after.
Basically, I have to put together a couple of lots of BNC network
cards from my surplus hardware list (http://www.woa.com.au/surplus -
yep, this is finally happening and if you replied before, you email
should arrive soon) for a couple of students who wanted to establish a
home network and have it run linux.
I just wanted to make sure that the cards I offered ran unix,
preferrably with an easy an install as possbile.

Has anyone actually used the Racal Interlan cards listed under 12.2
alpha/beta drivers?
thanks folks.
