Hello. I have been using Mandrake linux for about 6 months now. It has been a nice little intro into the world of linux and have learned tons. Not entirely satisfied with the RPM package management system that MDK uses and after having done some research am considering switching to Debian(my first choice by the way). Downloaded Woody in its entirety, only realizing now that the first CD was all I really needed, and after having tried to install it a few times have become frustrated that I just can't get the system to pick up my NIC. Unfortunately, I dont have a nice comp at home. I'm still using my trusty P1 166. Will eventually upgrade to something much more modern. But, in the meantime, I could certainly use some assistance with this hardware issue. The NIC in question is a Surecom EP-325-T Full duplex PCI card. My mobo has no native PCI slots and is using a PCI-to-ISA bridge adapter. I've browsed through the Debian HCL and have determined that this card is supported and assume that it has something to due with my particular hardware. The install routine just never seems to pick it up and the DHCP portion of the setup always fails. Any suggestions would be most appreciated as I look forward to using the much bragged about APT-GET. Bye for now. Thanks, Jim -- "My naturally sweet nature and disposition has been spoiled by the sport of billiards".
