I have a network set up at home. I have a Linux server connecting to the internet (DSL) and routing
the net-connection to the three other desktops. On one of them I'd like to set up Amithlon to
be able to connect to the internet. I have no problems getting online with either Windows or Linux.
From Windows my network card-settings look like this:
3Com Etherlink XL 10/100 PCI NIC (3C905-TX)
Location 5 (PCI bus0, device 12, function 0)
IO-Range C400-C43F
IRQ 11
I know Amithlon only supports NE2000 network cards, which should include most cards as the
documentation shows. But I'm not sure if my card is NE2000 compatible.
I haven't yet found (or heard of) a 3COm card that'll work under Amithlon. Your best bet would be to haunt the local computer fairs and check every s/h NIC for a RTL8029 chip. They're usually plentiful and rather cheap. (They are only a 10mbit card afterall)
Windows and Linux will co-exist with two NICs and Amithlon will ignore the 3Com unit.
