Okhrimenko, > PRANA development group, Obninsk, Russia. Didn't you ask this once already? Yes, 2.2 supports a bunch of 100MBit cards (you'll need to check the FAQ/handbook, or release notes for 2.2.5, to see exactly which ones). As for making it work, it's just like adding any other bit of hardware: Maybe configure jumpers on card Plug card into machine Maybe configure card using crufty DOS-based setup program Build kernel with appropriate driver for card It works! If you're really lucky you might get a card that does Plug-n-Pray properly, so you can skip most of the configuration steps.
