Re: NIC - ifconfig - urgent!

[Desperado <b hou student qut edu au>]

If the card is able to work in windows, I don't see any reason why it
wouldn't work in Linux unless something is missing about the NE2000 driver.
Btw, how do we check if the OS has got network capability and how do we
check if the default NE2000 driver is in there?
