If 10/100 is not an option, I'd suggest forking out the extra $20 to get an Intel 100+ card. The driver you are looking for with Intel NIC cards is fxp. -Chris Phillips On Mon, 9 Apr 2001, Gunther Schadow wrote: > Hi, > > I know the Ethernet cards for 20 bucks are available from Hawking or > Kingston or what those brand names are.
