Re: Help!!! Ethernet card hell!



Like others said, this is not Debian's fault.  Debian only supply
(almost) standard kernel.

But you have answer.  If other distros which have natsemi.o use 2.4
kernel, then you can upgrade to 2.4.  There is unofficial potato->2.4
upgrade instruction (kernel+binutils) showed up on this list.  Do web
search for it.  Or upgrade to woody carefully.

Also if you find a distribution which has this module and have 2.2
kernel, steal source and patches from srpm package. It's GPL anyway.

Good luck :-)
