[linux-help] Re: Connecting Roadrunner to Linux

[John Alexander <johnalexander@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, can you describe the network to which you are attaching the card? Is it a
10Base-T or Thinnet network? If it's a 10Base-T network, do you have a link
light on the card and the hub when you plug in the cable with the machine on?
Is this ELink III a new card, or was it bought used?
