Folks,
I'm trying to add a network interface card to my SUSE 9.3 box, and
I'm not having much luck with a US Robotics version. What
manufacturer do any of you use in your machines--either 10/100MB or GigE NIC?
Thanks
Eric Hines

Hi, i use 100 mbit, 3com, intel pro100 Giga bit, intel pro1000 because both are good supported in kernel Louis -----Original Message----- >From: "Eric Hines"<eehines@comcast.net> >Sent: 19-12-05 17:47:04 >To: "samba@lists.samba.org"<samba@lists.samba.org> >Subject: [Samba] OT: NIC > >Folks, > >I'm trying to add a network interface card to my SUSE 9.3 box, and >I'm not having much luck with a US Robotics version.

Stick to the EtherExpress Pro lines, ie EtherExpress Pro 100/B PCI card for 10/100 - supported by almost any O/S right out of the box - even Win95 doesn't need a driver for it, I have suse/amd64 here using 4 of them in a box - works great :) -- Nathan Vidican nvidican@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/
To add my $0.02: Anything from Netgear or Intel will be your best choice. I have found US Robotics support to be spotty at best in nearly every linux flavor (SuSE, Mandrake, RH9/FC2) I have tried. Plus I( have a vested interest: I was a QA Engineer on many of the Intel NICs from the mid-90s to 200, so I have a pretty good idea of how well they operate.
