I'm assuming you're talking wireless networking here. A list of known functioning wireless cards can be found at: http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html There is a wrapper program called "ndiswrapper" that can utilize the Windows 98/XP/2000 drivers (the .sys and .inf files) under Linux. It's available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper. I'm using it for a Broadcom 802.11g 54Mbps link in a Fujitsu laptop. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens vitalstream com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - When in doubt, mumble. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Redhat-install-list mailing list Redhat-install-list redhat com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: redhat-install-list-request redhat com Subject: unsubscribe
