Considering its going to be connected to an ADSL, you don't need anything but a dirt cheap 10megabit card.
Here we have 16MBit ADSL, and I've seen even faster
Sheesh! Where are you, 6 feet from the telco exchange?
16 Mbps is quite common here in Europe. Back in Sweden, I've seen them offer 24Mbit ADSL (but I didn't take it, because I already had a 100Mbps connection from home :)
Given that nothing is working for the OP yet, even 10 meg would probably be welcome, but 10/100 cards are also pretty cheap. About $16 from my sources.
Sure, a 100Mbps card today costs next to nothing
All this "speed" is great, but................................................. The vast majority of the servers on the web can't get close to those speeds. About the average for the majority I have used seems to be around 70>90Kbps. I have found a few that could hit close to 130Kbps. The only limiter I have is the 100Mbps network card in my computer. It still took me about twenty-four hours to download the DVD for 10.2. Best speed I saw from the server was 70Kbps and for most of the download it was more like 50>60Kbps. -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
