That was suse actually, a distro which I really like(d?) but one has got to move on. The thing with suse and redhat is, once you _need_ to compile something because there is no binary for it, then the trouble really starts. Good luck getting a promisc-cabable driver for a wifi card into suse without hours and hours trial and error. Well, sometimes you're lucky. > > Hey, I already like this list, feels right at home :-)) I'm almost ready to reboot to 2.6.9 but a little (but potential showstopper-) problem showed up. I have two wired NICs, both of them 3Com575TX. (not a typo, it is a different card than the 3C574 or 3C589 cards) (Cardbus, 100TX) I know that I need(ed) the 3c575_cb module for it under 2.4. The thing is, that came with pcmcia-cs, not with the kernel. This new kernel has the pcmcia built-in but it seems this driver was deprecated; it just isn't there. Now chances are it is merged into something else, but not knowing gives me the creeps. No network -> no nothing. No emerge that is. No emerge no fixing. And I have no other brand laying around (except for wireless but that's not proven to work yet) Anyone know what happened to this infamous 3C575 driver ? A grep for 575 in Documentation/* (including Changes) yields nothing at all. The same in .config by the way. The card is great otherwise, never any problems with it Maarten -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
