Re: [cobalt-users] What NIC for reload of OS?

["Brad Rathbun" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Got lucky and found an 100BaseTx Intel card at a friendly competitor for
about $75. It worked like a champ. As much as I like this Cobalt server, the
documentation on almost everything (disk especially) sucks! Pretty cool how
the restore works, though. Only problem I had was the same as when I bought
it - the User Add function didn't work until I put in all the updates for
security and such. Now it works great again. And I'll bet I don't go playing
with untested Perl scripts on my production server again! ;^)

according to the kernel source, the 3c515 is different than all the other
3com cards, the driver is just for it.....:(
