- What other Ethernet drivers have been written for Linux? We are in the process
- of trying to get one working, but I know it is not compatible with the WD8003.
- Maybe the 3c503 would help... I am getting near the end of my rope...
- (We am in the process of looking at the DOS drivers and trying to see how
- they initialized the card and stuff... but it is a harrowing experience.)
-
- Maybe I should ask this: If you are using any other Ethernet card other than
- the WD8003, can you send me email on what the card is and what driver (whether
- the same or not) you are using to get it to work? I can at least compile up
- a sort-of-FAQ for it and post it for those getting other brands of cards...
