Hi Bryan, if you haven't done it so far please go to http://linux-laptop.net/ibm.html and have a look. There are some links to Linux on the T23.
Your NIC is a PRO100/VE, an 'advanced' version of the PRO/100. The new driver e100 for this card will help you as also stated in the other post. --Michael On Saturday 12 January 2002 08:25, Bryan Daniels wrote: > I am running Debian 2.2_Rev4, kernel 2.2.19 on a Think > Pad T23 with an Intel(R) PRO/100 network card.
