Re: Network Cards

ALRIGHT ! For a change......I'll agree !!! <applause>
NICs are 3rd graders !
Realteks the real thing.....such cards should cost u around Rs.400-500/-
max.

And they are auto detected/configured by Red Hat 6.2 / Mandrake 7.0 onwards.

I have a mini lan(3 puters) at my place and I am using 100mbps realtek cards
and 100mbps hub.
did i hear someone saying....100mbps hubs are a waste on mini lans ??
