Is is possible to get on a network / internet in AMIthlon? - What networking hardware works if so?
I used it with a 8029
Realtek RTL8029 Amithlon Confirmed 10M/bit
Realtek RTL8139D OpenPCI Confirmed 100M/bit.
taken from the Amithlon Hardware Compatibility Chart:
This page contains what will hopefully be the definative guide to Amithlon's hardware compatibility. As well as listing what works, it also shows some common hardware that is not compatible.
Key:
Native = Native Amithlon kernel or Bernie Meyer's updated kernel.
GCK = Gary Colville's beta kernel.
AHI = The AHI sound system.
OpenPCI = OpenPCI library and associated drivers.
Confirmed = I've either seen this hardware working or received multiple reports of it working.
Unconfirmed = Hardware that should work, but hasn't been tested.
