Re: RT Linux - Networking

Hi Jon,

Ooo 'eck, ain't it complicated! I guess they're probably trash then - no,
I've just had a bright idea - I'll stuff one in a Windows machine and see
what it says. If it likes it, either it will maybe tell me what kind of card
it is or I could just leave it in there and get some others for the linux
boxes. They seen too nice to just throw away, they're all shiny and new and
have lots of lights and connectors on the back - BNC, RJ45 and a 15 pin
D-type......
