Confirm for me if I am being less than clever but... I have just purchased an NEC versa note pII which comes with an integrated ethernet: DEC PCI DC21142. I am finding posts in Dejanews about drivers and problems with this "card" as far back as '97. Do I assume that a) the same card is used in desktops as in laptops b) the tulip drivers shipped with current dists of linux carry drivers for this card.
I can only find vague references to it on http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip.html and associated mailing lists. If I can get this card to work then I can return the combi card I thought I needed and get the $AUD350 difference. TIA Jord
