Ethernet Card

[nick G]

Good Choice, Janina.  I've got four computers over here, two have realtech
ethernet cards, two have ThreeCom.  The ThreeCom's are not as good as the
realtech's, and one of the ThreeComs is gigabit.
Thanks,
Nick

If modprobe isn't finding your card, it may not be a card you can use,
after all. Sorry to say that, but then network cards can be had very
affordably these days. I bought a realtech 10/100 for $10 at a computer
fair some time ago, for instance.

You might need to decide whether chasing this particular card, or just
replacing it is the smarter way to go.

If Linux can't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem.
