Inthe KERNEL config files does anybody have any experience with: ex # Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 and Pro/10+ ep # Etherlink III based cards fe # Fujitsu MB8696x based cards ie # EtherExpress 8/16, 3C507, StarLAN 10 lnc # NE2100, NE32-VL Lance Ethernet cards or am I looking in the wrong place? gary Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
