	I'm trying to use RedHat 5.2 and a 100mbit card here.  Here's
the story..I got myself 2 Hawking Technologies 10/100 auto switching
PCI NICs, and a HT 10/100 auto hub too.  The card works wonderfullly
under linux if it's 10mbit, on my 10mbit hub...But when I switch over
to my 100mbit hub, Linux screams and the ethernet connection dies...
The driver I use came with the NIC, so I know it's the correct one...
I remember hearing something like you have to compile the kernel to
use 100mbit instead of just 10mbit.  When I did recompile, I didn't
notice anything of that nature...Has anyone had this problem, or know
a solution to it? If ya have an idea could you respond back with an
email (Remove the X's from the address) since I cannot check all the
newsgroups everyday...TIA..
