Forgive my ignorance here... I really don't think it's an ISA Card. But I'm not a h/w wiz. What is the diff... please enlighten so that I don't ask this again. Anyways, It goes into a PCI slot I think.

Also no spurious interrupts, the c file won't build. I don't have the o/p right now.. I'll mail it tomm if reqd Methinks it's not in the right place ... missing headers or something

the driver file mentioned that the files should be copied to /usr/src/linux in 6.x I don't find such a dir on my m/c. Do I have to create it ... don't see that working

Thanks for reading Gishu

My installation detects the card as REaltek.... but won't activate it on startup or via the Network applet

I have a disk which came along with the card which contains a .c file which seems to be the driver for 6.X . the installation procedure seems to ask me to build the .c file (I have never seen something like this in Win..) Anyways I did that and apart from a whole lot of error messages.. no new developments. There's a make file which also does the same thing..

forgot to ask - is it an ISA lan card? If so, you will have to manually install it - if you confirm that it is ISA, i'll tell you how
