Re: Linksys NIC card

[Tim Thompson <tat advicom net>]

I have successfully gotten these cards to work under Linux with no special
effort required.  Make sure you don't have a confict with another device's
io space or irq.  (I had to change the irq to 11 on one of my machines
because 10 conflicted with my PAS 16 sound card.)

Hope this is of some help.
