Our software is FC3 on for the moment > (I'm working on it). Looking at Dell's website, it's unclear what the wired NIC is. They use the euphemistic "10/100/1000 Gigabit" description, which is almost useless. The wireless is EITHER an Intell PRO 3945A/G OR the Dell 1490. I don't think FC3 (or FC5 for that matter) has drivers for those. You probably need to use the Windows drivers under ndiswrapper. See http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net for details on that. As to the wired NIC, do an "lspci -v" and see what ethernet controllers you have. We can advise you better that way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "I was remembering the immortal words of Socrates when he said, - - 'I drank what?'" -- Val Kilmer in "Real Genius" - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
