So quick aside, does anybody know if excessive network collisions are likely a problem of a poor kernel/module compile, or just my hardware. I know this isn't too related, but my Linksys 10/100 21140 Tulip is used correctly by 98 and NT, detected and ifconfiged right by Linux, even supported on their website... it is the PNIC chipset, but when I try to talk to the internet through the mac on linux, I notice that it can't, and I get a collision and sequestering of the line every two seconds on my Linksys 8 port 10/100 hub, then it resets. Collide reset collide reset etc. and telnet never gets through nor does ping. I am using caldera 1.3 and kernel 2.0.35. Any ideas? Andrew [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
