Re: network
Hi Zheng,
That is the same card that I have. I does indeed work under Linux.
The advice I can offer from personal experience is that when you are
either doing a fresh install and you are told to install modules into
the kernel, or when you configuring the kernel to compile it, you
need to select the NIC driver that has the phrase "Vortex/Boomerang"
in it.
