Re: [suse-ppc] RS6K standard Ethernet card supported?

During installation, the Selection of Network Devices screen does not
The B50 is a rack mounted 150. Same components, different layout.
The AMD PCNet32 Chipset is used on both for onboard 10/100 Solution. The
same chip is used with the PCI card solution. Use the PCNet32 driver, not

I was going to choose NE2000 (PCI), but in the SuSe knowledgebase, there
are some articles saying this may not be a good idea (kfr_16) or that the system may not recognize the card (rb_nwkconfig).
Has anyone found problems with the on-board Ethernet adapter on the B50
under the NE2000 PCI driver? Did you use another driver?
Thanks for your help.
