A PCI combo card that contains VIA Firewire (IEEE-1394a), NEC USB 1.1/2.0, and a Realtek 1 Gb NIC model 8169. All chips are connected to HINT PCI to PCI bridge chip.
In order to make the card to work.
* Use kernel version 2.6.13
* Load up both ehci and ohci USB modules
* Load the firewire (IEEE-1394) modules
* Load up r8169 module
I have not tested with earlier kernel versions. Also I have not yet tested the Firewire or i.Link connection of the card, but I assume it will work. USB on this card is very reliable and stable. I have not had any problems with the NIC. I have been using it for a year.
