RE: PCI Linksys card in Hamm

Thanks for the reply.  Actual I should have specified my card more
specifically.  I have the Ether PCI II Lan card which Linksys says uses the
NE2000 driver.  I also failed to note that I HAVE successfully installed the
same card in Hamm with my previous configuration.

Sorry
Cristov

Hi Cristov,

I am pretty sure that Linksys cards are based on Dec Tulip cards and not on
NE 2000. I am using Linksys Etherfast 10/100. You can either use the slink
system and select the tulip card or get the program from kernel 2.2 and
compile it in hamm. Both of them works.

For further info, please look at www.linksys.com. All their cards are based
on DEC tulip with/without PNIC. However, slink drivers take care of that.

Hope that helps,
Vaidhy
