I've got two of the cards myself, havn't been able to get either one to work with 7.0. It appeared to be autodetected but with a different name then what I would have expected, but when going into the network config portion of the inital install it would say no network card available (or something to that affect). Anyway, no go on my system. I swapped the cards out of my windows system and used it instead.
What card did you end up using that worked, and was SuSE able to autodetect it? Thanks. *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.0 Professional KMail 1.0.29.2 Bryan S. Tyson bryantyson@earthlink.net ***************************************************

There is always a thread or two going on network cards on this list ! My contribution. Being poor and a cheapskate I buy network cards that I can afford. My network requirements are not industrial, so I cannot say how well these would perform under stress but I have both ISA NE2000 clones and PCI cards based on Realtek 8139 10/100 chips. These are both from Sitecom. I have used them under Suse, Debian, Slackware, Redhat, FreeBSD (and Windows '98, but that had other problems .. :) ). Apart from having to set the IRQ/IO values for the NE2000 clone I have not had a single problem (touch wood). Bearing in mind these are about 25% of the price of the cheapest alternatives here I am reasonably happy. Cliff
