It's funny that you had problems setting up your Linksys card. I just plugged mine in, added a line to conf.modules and away it went. No problem. Perhaps my card is one of the older tulip cards that didn't need any driver tweeking. I got it as part of a Linksys Ethernet in a Box package. Two NICS and a 4 port hub for a really great price (£70 ukp on special offer in a local shop about a year ago). I suppose it could also be something to do with particular mobo/chipsets and these cards and I was lucky although my M$ box has a dodgy FIC AMD K6/2 mobo and the Linksys card works OK with that too. Oh well, the joys of the crap PC architecture. By the way, I also had the same ease of setup with my DLink card too. Sean. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 31/08/2000 at 20:23 Darren R.

I have both a D-Link DFE-530TX 10/100 card (via-rhine driver) and a Linksys LNE100TX 10/100 card (tulip driver) in my Linux server (i.e. both are in the same machine). One for my internal network and the other for my cable modem internet connection. Both of these cards are excellent and very, very good value for money. Much better value than 3com or Intel offerings IMHO.
By the way. I'm running SuSE 6.4 with the standard kernel.
Hope this helps.

I have to disagree with that earlier post. I had some Linksys cards that were a pain to set up. One of them I never did get to work. I later got two PCI 3com 905b cards and stuck them in. 5 min later everything was working. I won't bash anybody else's choice but I'll be using these cards until they are obsoleted, and that will be a while.
