Support for D-Link 220 Ethernet cards?
I just installed Debian (slink) on a friend's system. His Ethernet card
is a D-Link 220. I read the Ethernet-HOWTO to check the card's compatibility,
and there has apparently been some success getting D-Link 200 cards to work,
using the ne driver. I've made a kernel (2.0.36) with the ne support
built-in, and another try with it as a module. However, neither seems to work;
I get a "device or resource busy" error if I try to modprobe ne.o.
Has anyone gotten this card to work in Linux? Is there a chance it'd work in
a 2.2.x kernel? (I'd really like to not have to do that, though, as getting
a new kernel-source package installed on his computer, without having the
Ethernet card available to *download* the package, could be quite a pain.
However, if I must make him a 2.2.x kernel, I'd appreciate some tips on how
I can build a kernel locally without hosing my computer, and then transferring
it over to his. I'd hate to have to use RedHat.)
Thanks a lot,
Colin McMillen
