Hi, I just installed Fedore Core 4 on Dell Dimension 9100. Fedora was not able to recognize my NIC and I downloaded the drivers from Intel and after some trouble with Make I was able to install it.
Upon restart fedora created a new ethernet connection and it is configured correctly to obtain an IP via DHCP. The computer is able to ping to the gateway, but is not able to ping to any other machine on the network. But anyother machine on the network is able to ping to the linux machine (I assume this is because the gateway is configured properly so anyother machine is able to reach it .. atleast that is my idea).
My NIC is Intel Intel(R) PRO/100 VE (82801G Controller). I see in other forums that is supported by module e100 in the FC4 kernel, but FC4 couldnt recongize my device.
I would like to note that my
Here is some information I could gather on my linux machine.
