I had some problems with a 21143 running on Dec Alpha and RH 6.0. The final
solution was to download the latest tulip.c from the web. I went to Donald
Becker's web site and then there was a link to somewhere else that had a
more current version. I forget where. The one thing I noticed is that the
card (or driver) seemed to require a full-duplex Ethernet connection. When
plugged into a cheap 100BT hub we had lots of problems. We then plugged into
a nice 3COM switched hub and everything started working great.

Well, I looked up the Linksys card on www.searchlinux.com.

Bottom line seems to be that people are having a lot of problems
with it. One post indicates the box states that it's Linux compatible.
Apparently, there is a tulip.c file on one of the diskettes included.

It does use the tulip driver, but it needs a newer version than the
one the comes with RedHat 6.0.
