Hardware compatability
One thing I am learning is that it is hard to find hardware that is compatiple with unix (correct me if I am wrong).
I have now installed Corel's version of Linux. How do you know when a piece of hardware (e.g. network card) is or is not working in Unix. I go to the Control centre and see all the hardware listed. I have been popping in various types of network cards in the hopes that it will help get me network going. (I am using internet connection sharing thru a hub from a win2000 machine across my home network) As I said I see all the hardware listed, but how do you tell if it is working. For example. Under Network adapter is says this: Description: Realtek 8129 PCI network Manufacturer: Realtek Semiconductor Co. ltd. Device: Unknown Driver: ne2k-pci.o (as a pop up menu) PCI information Vendor ID: 0x10EC Card ID: 0x8029 Slot number: 10 PCI info: 0x10EC, 0x8029, 10 Does all this mean its working? Another thing: Is it possible to add new drivers made by manufacturers? And one more thing. If Corel says that they support the 3C905 card- Does this mean that is will work for the 3C905B-TX and the 3C905C-TMX cards? This unix thing is really wild, Its so nice to put windows in the background. I feel like I am five with a new toy! Thanks to all who read and/or help CCM |
