Re: Network problems with Vortex Adapter
thanks for your response I had infact been using the same network adapter with Debian
1.3 and it worked well the problem started with Debian version 2.0 with kernel 2.0.34.
Red Hat running the 2.0.34 kernel works fine. I will follow your suggetsions and get
back to you with the result.
