[cobalt-users] Raq4r Network Interface

["Mark Kendall" <wally@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I have been an avid reader of all posts for the last 3-4 months and 
gleaned lots of useful information, so on this my first post, I wish 
to thank you all for keeping my blue box alive :)

........until now...

I have Raq4r which has no network connection on either port. I suspect 
that a recent storm has blasted the onboard IC. I am trying to get a 
2nd hand Motherboard from ebay (almost the same price bid wise as a 
whole Raq4!) but would also like to know if:

(a) I could add a new NIC into the PCI slot to use...
(b) If the IC's on the motherboard can swapped out and if so where to 
source the appropriate chips (only IC i can identify is a "pulse H1012").
(c) If my installation of webmin could have munged the NIC or driver.

Not too worried about attacking the board with a soldering iron as I 
led a previous existance as a PCB builder.

Many thanks

Mark Kendall
