[ILUG] Linux networking - how???

[Petra]

If you have installed the HOWTO documentation with Mandrake 7.x you
should
have the directory /usr/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/

In there you should have the Ethernet-HOWTO and in section 5.24 of that
you will see what drivers to use.  It looks like there were several
different cards using the same
names but with different chipsets.  You need to identify the chipsets
used
on your card.

see the following file on your system (if you have HOWTO docs installed)

/usr/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/Etnernet-HOWTO-5.html

If you don't have the HOWTO docs installed the look for the RPM
on you disc set that goes something like
 "howto-html-en-7.1-2mdk.rpm" and "howto-html-en-7.1-3mdk.rpm"
and install them. 

Otherwise, goto www.linux.org and read the Documentation section.

I hope this helps.
