I don't know which ethernet card to choose during the kernel config menu, can anyone let me know which to use? My card says Macronix 98715 AEC on it.

Thanks

Try this one.

Code: Select all

Thanks cyrillic, the 2.6.5-r1 menuconfig should say something in the description like "If you used the 'tulip' option in 2.4, use this driver" or something maybe (or maybe I'm just a n00b

)

But it did work with my card, and it's not really obvious because here's what lspci says:

Code: Select all

0000:00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Macronix, Inc. [MXIC] MX987x5 (rev 20)
