Alright...I thought this was a issue with resolving dns. I didn't
know you don't have a link at all. I had some trouble getting Red
Hat to recognize a Netgear card. I tried messing around with the
tulip driver, and tried to follow some guides online, but none of
them ever worked. This was the frustration that led me away from
Linux for a few months, so I know how annoying something like this
can be. I'm sure that there are some help files or solutions for
your card if you search around some of the linux sites.
