Have anyone used this in linux? It seems to have some good qualities. It says that it comes with drivers for linux, but i'm afraid that it might be a precompiled kernel module? And then the card is useless to me. I don't even know what chip is used, since I can't find that on the webpage: http:/

Broadcast

I'm trying to turn of the broadcast flag for a network card. But I can't, why?? I have two network-cards in the machine and an application (rwhod) that wants to send it's messages out on every interface that can broadcast. But never want to broadcast anything on this interface so why not turn it
