If you check the packaging, you'll find that the diskette that comes with the Netgear cards actually includes a tulip driver that has been modified by Netgear specifically for their card. It's a few revs behind compared to the dist. version, and I'm not sure exactly what the changes affect. Both drivers seem to work just fine. - Herman On Mon, 10 Apr 2000, Christopher D.

Hello All,

Just curious if anyone uses NetGear PCI 10/100 Network cards. On the box, it say "linux ready", is this a trick to buy it or does their product really work with Linux?

Best to check the ethernet faq. I think the Netgear stuff used to use Dec tulip chips but may have switched to something else. The FAQ is pretty good.

We're betting that it is." -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
