Re: LNE100TX

Dear all,

This thread seems to be just what I want to know!
I also tried to configure my PC installed with a Linksys LNE100TX card v4.

I followed the site which Matt told, however, it failed.
Then I changed the alias for the driver set up in the /etc/modules.conf
as below
   alias eth0 tulip
not as
   alias eth0 tulip
   pre-install tulip insmod pci-scan

Finally, it seems to work fine!
