Are the integrated IBM 300PL NICs Linux compatible?
Ok, my 2nd box is (as you could have guessed) a p3-550mhz IBM 300PL with 160mb of ram. I installed fc2 (which probably has the best hardware recognition out there besides knoppix) and on eth0 is always not found. The error is Attempting to assign IP (or something to that effect).....FAILED. I am not sure if it is a fc2 issue or IBM issue. I looked it up on linuxcompatible and everything checked out. It could be an issue with my switch, or my ISP for high speed (Earthlink may only allow only one connection for residential). I do have a old 3com 5903 ISA card I could put in and check out. So any thoughts and possible workarounds? Thanks.
