Networking

Bit of a long shot here, but has anyone managed to get AROS working with an nVidia MCP51 ethernet controller? It's pretty common, so maybe there's someone else out there.. :/

So far I'm very impressed with AROS/Icaros, it's come such a long way since I last tried it out!

Right now I just want an Amiga-ish environment that I can use for everyday things, checking email, IRC etc. I have Amiga Forever, which is great, but I love the speed of AROS

I don't know if this card is supported by existing drivers, but here you have a list of cards that should work:

Aha, thanks

No luck for me, by the looks of it though.. ah well, maybe one day.

Unless your hardware is a laptop, I woudl recommend buying a used network card with one of supported chipsets - such hardware is dirt cheap, while supporting new network cards has one major problem - person needed to write the driver

Yeah, I might just do that!
