Question Lindy 7-port USB, Firewire & 10/100 LAN combo Card


Please can anyone help me.

I am thinking of buying from Lindy UK a PCI Combo LAN (10/100), USB 2.0 and Firewire Card and I was wondering if it would work under Linux. I have contacted Lindy and they seem to think it will not. This card would be perfect for my needs as my system is lacking in PCI slots (3 only of which 1 is available) and this card replaces the need for 3 separate PCI cards.

Does anyone else have this combo card from Lindy, to let me know if they had problems with the card functioning under Linux?

Any help would be gratefully received, thanks!

According to the manual downloaded from the website

Ethernet chipset is Realtek RTL8139(A)
USB is NEC
Firewire is Agere

You could buy it, try it, send it back or research each of the chipsets and check for their support under Linux.
