Sridhar,
My card is also Linksys 10/100tx, and I am beginning to think, although
documentation would indicate otherwise, this is the LITE chip but on
"http://www.scyld.comm" (this guy wrote the tulip driver) it says this latest
version will support both chips. Who knows? Tell me something please, did your
card go in during installation of 7.02 or did you set it up once the install
was done. If it work in 7.02 without major hassles, I will go back. I am on
7.1, and it has been a real bitch setting this guy up. After better than five
years in "nix" systems, this has been a very humbling experience. Think twice
before you upgrade....
