hello, 1) what kernel version are you using? 2) in back of your card you can find a number. use this number to correctly identify your board in intel. use this url: http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm 3) what is the chipset? (the bigest chip on board have a number like "82595". please write this number for me) explanation: the old driver has a bug in probe function that now (>2.2.14) is fixed. this board works in linux very well, so don't worry :) On Tue, 4 Jul 2000, James Perry wrote: > Hello, > > I just installed Red Hat Linux 6.2 on a Intel based PC.
