Hi, can someone tell me where to get the drivers for the Linksys Etherfast 10/100 LAN Card and for the Century Concept Digital Fast Ethernet Card, since the drivers for both of these cards are source code when I try to compile them the compilation process fails, ohh and to make things clear to some people, when I post a question in the computing.net forum I don't leave that problem there for someone else to solve it for me, I actually keep looking for the info I need after I post the problem here, so If one source fails I can count on the other one. Thanks people

Hmm, the Linksys card (I thought) is compatible with either realtek 8192 or NE2000 drivers.

Thank you very much, but do you know if these drivers require a specific kernel version, while looking around I read that these same drivers that you're saying dont work under kernel v. 2.4, I'll try them anyway. Thanks guys

I use red hat linux 6.1 kernel version 2.2 and hence the linksys card was not supported. BUt i read somewhere that red hat linux 7.0 and upwards having kernel version 2.4 (i guess) already support this card. So if u have the latest version of linux, i believe from what i read that the linksys card should be supported.
