Re: Problem w/ T23 and NIC (eepro100)
Hi Bryan,
if you haven't done it so far please go to
http://linux-laptop.net/ibm.html and have a look. There are some links
to Linux on the T23.
Your NIC is a PRO100/VE, an 'advanced' version of the PRO/100. The new
driver e100 for this card will help you as also stated in the other
post.
