[opensuse] Network card driver - update needed.
Hi, We have an openSUSE 10.0 router, working with two 3com network cards. I don't know the exact name/type of the "problematic" 10Mbit one, but read previously on the 'net that this particular one can cause tons of problems. And it really does. I wonder, how to start to update its driver; any advice please what to do next, if I know the module name, which gets loaded for that network card? Compiling kernel module and/or new kernel is no problem, but of course I attempt to limit the efforts needed and time invested. Thank you, Pelibali -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
If the card has known issues I would be either asking are their issues with the card revision - This is not a driver issue. Throw it out - Get a new card that everything will talk to like a Realtech I am sorry if there are known issues with this card as you say - this time you can blame the hardware and 3COM despite being everywhere have released some beauties over time which some fault can be covered up be proprietary drivers and sometime firmware revisions Scott pelibali wrote:
