hi
i am running linux 2.4.18-3
i have a basic network adapter PCI card
10/100TX for a local area network
it says on the box that it's 'designed for microsoft' but the company i bought it from off the internet also said linux works.
however, the device driver cd rom does not work in my linux computer. where can i get a driver off the internet (if i can) and is there anything else i should know about installing it?

thankyou!

ps. this is not a linux problem but if you could perhaps solve it, it would be great! my cmos requires resetting everytime i boot up. that is, i have to manually enter the time and date. what is this?

Kind of hard to tell you where to get a driver when we don't know what type of card it is . But I would be willing to bet that if the company said they have linux drivers, they would probably be available either on their site or that you could get them through a tech support representative. BTW, make sure that there isn't a kernel module already that works with your card before you go looking all over the place elsewhere.

happy hunting,

It is difficult to help without knowing some additional info.

What is the make/model of the network card?
Post the output of the command
lspci. (Just the part the references the network card)

You might need a new CMOS battery.
