You will need some extra ethernet adapter, for example, since MACE ethernet is not suported. (I am working on it at the moment, but don't hold your breath). NICs that are knownw to work: some tulip-based. NICs that are known not to work: 3c905B-TX... Also, things only work uncached. As you now understand, O2+Linux is kernel-hacker only toy at the moment. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjt0B48ACgkQtKh84cA8u2k/AwCeKNmJjvGQesQl8EE2jqwcIXzA VeUAnAwLKa/hCSL/oIyZ8bRc2crbE+rN =1v99 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
