[ltp] Install Redhat Linux Enterprise 3.0.8 on T60 - network card does not w

[Debbie Zhang]

Hi, Josh,

I did go out to buy an "older" model network card so it can be recognized by 
RHEL 3.
The one I picked is "NetGear CardBus Notebook Adapter 10/100 Mbps FA511".
Cannot even load the tulip.o.
Guess I picked the one that is too old.

Have you tried to use another network driver also ?
Which model did you use?

I also tried to install Fedora Core 6.
And that works out of box.  It recognize T60 duel core as two CPU and pings 
well.

thanks for the help
-Debbie
