Supported USB Ethernet card?

avtryck · Posted: Sun Nov 30, 2003 7:05 pm Post subject: Supported USB Ethernet card?

Does anyone know if there are any USB Ethernet cards supported by linux? I don't mean WLAN-card but a regular 10/100 card.

Any suggestions appriciated since my on-board card broke a few days ago.

Thanks in advance,

-Jimmy

avtryck,

Yes. cd to /usr/src/linux and run make xconfig

Poking about in USB will show you what your current kernel supports.
Click the help buttons for details.

You will need to rebuild your kernel or at least, ass the module you require.

Thanks.

Do you, or someone else, have any tips on USB Ethernet cards to buy (which are supported).

Examples of what I'm looking for can be found here:

But before I buy, it would be nice to know if one of them will work with my linuxsystem.

Thanks again,
