Re: [Plug] Ethernet Cards
|
This card had nowhere on it (not on docs, box, or card) any kind of
manufacturer ID. I didn't let that phase me though, & looked up the chip it
used & found a driver. The driver was in source code form & didn't look so
polished. I tried it though, but since I can't get a signal through to the
Win95 box on the other end and the cable tested out, getting a new NIC seems
the next logical step. There was that one unexplained phenomenon where the
light on my hub where the Win95 box was plugged in lit up when I tried to
ping the Linux box from it, but the light where the Linux box was plugged in
lit up not & only seemed to work when I pinged the global address. Go fig.

So far I have not found a Nic card that didnt work under linux, I have
used cards that didnt even have any type of a name on it except ne2000. I
figure as long as it is ne2000 compatible it will work.
