Also try lspci (from the pciutils package). It should give you the card's version string, which should include the model number. If you have a 3c90x series card, you probably want the (ill-named) 3c59x driver. Once you know which card you have it will be easy to tell you which driver will serve it. For starters, you can try the networking directory of the kernel docs, or google. good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume/ -- "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." --Beatrice Hall, The Friends of Voltaire, 1906
