Deepak - before you go charging ahead...take note of my earlier post that
there indeed have been 4 different chipsets used on the Linksys LNE10/100
labelled cards - not all of them use the tulip chipsets. Kevin was right
about one of the more recent versions having a compilable driver loaded on
the floppy disk - but that pertained specifically to the current tulip
chipset which I found unnecessary with Redhat 6.2 - it worked by selecting
the DEC4X5 driver. This is precisely why I avoid the Linksys cards - when I
can go to Fry's and get an SMC-EZ card which will be detected right out of
the box for $15. Everything else seems pointless.
