Re: RT Linux

Thanks Jon,

I looked at the HOW-TO but couldn't see anything which seemed to correlate
with anything written on these cards but I assumed that, since they seem to
have the word 'ethernet' on them a number of times, they would probably be
supported, at least, by some kind of generic driver - perhaps not.
