Hello Group -
I decided to buy new 10/100 PCI network cards to replace my older 3c509 ISA cards so that I can start collecting stats in NTOP (as it just doesn't want to work with the 3c509 - but thats another issue) I swapped the cards out, and now I am only getting to fstab with it reading "Checking for new hardware"...
Is there any suggestions on removing this function from startup alltogether? I suppose I will have to (at least) remove the new NIC's and reboot, then remove the fstab from ***somewhere*** replace the cards and reboot?
BTW - what module should I use for my new INTELLINET 10/100 PCI cards?
well, 8139too is possibly the most common driver in use on linux. it's for the Realtez 8139 generi chip set, which i'd guess 75% of generic pci ethernet cards use, the other 25% mainly made from the Realtek 8129 (which works as an ne2000 card. You really should of already had that driver on your system if you wanted it there or not, like i said, it's the most common. i'd be curious as to what you did with this new driver.
