Hello,

Greetings!!!

I've a LinkSys LNE100Tx Fast Ethernet card on my PC which my SuSE Linux
5.3 fails to recognise/startup.
Apparently this card is not in the list of standard networking card
modules provided  by my Linux vendor. So I tried selecting a similar
3Com card and a few other standard cards ..but no luck.(Is this the
right way to do it?? how do u connect non-standard cards anyway?? do I
need a specific linux device driver for it??)

I have entered relevant info such as ip addresses, subnet
masks,gateways,dns etc.
I dont see "eth0" in my proc/net/dev or my ifconfig. They both show me a
"lo"-local loop and a dummy device...thats it.

I need  to understand if this card is supported by Linux at al?? And
what are my options other than buying a new card!!

Need help ..sooooooonnnn...!!

Thanks
Huseni
