I had to build the drivers from the intel software. I am using the e100 and e1000 with iANS for bonding and Automatic Failover.

If you are using the Developer Edition, forget it. There will never be any updates. I even bought six RH Network subscriptions to cover them. I found out from Red Hat that they don't update that version even with errata or security patches. (I found out after I had one box hacked due to a hole in a package) In order to get updates and patches to RHAS, you have to buy the full package at $1,500 a whack. You also can't just buy one copy and use it multiple times. You have to buy for each server. (Supposedly RH monitors this, so you can't buy one copy and put it on multiple servers and expect to use up2date to keep them current.) The full version does update. I am currently at 2.4.9-e.25. > Good luck, Ed. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
