A few days ago I bought a 10/100Mb LinkSys ethernet card at CompUSA for my 6.4 Linux system. I have 2 older (10Mb) cards on this home network between my two FreeBSD boxes; they work fine.

You need to get the very latest ethernet drivers from Donald Becker's site at:
http://www.scyld.com/network/updates.html ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdriver-2.0.src.rpm
It will not work with the old driver (at all). (I bought three of these at CompUSA also -- it is a small world.)
I'll second that! and even smaller amongst us hacker types :)
You have not got a working card driver loaded yet -- once you have, you can use yast to configure and it will work (and you might want to take a look at /etc/rc.config to see if there are any more options you want to use -- be sure to remember to run SuSEconfig after modifying /etc/rc.config or configuring with yast (if it forgets to do so for you, as it sometimes will)).
I've downloaded the netdriver-2.0.src and run rpm -i on the file. Becker's site says that I have to rebuild the kernel now. Is there some cheatsheet instruction on howto rebuild and install the SuSE kernel anywhere? Or can you give me the cookbook instructions? (eg) % cd /usr/src/linux % make kernel; install kernel; % reboot... ...Can't be that simple, but whatever. thanks for the driver info!! gary -- Gary D.
