Mark,
okay I understand and thank you for being so patient with me. this is a sole
machine for the PlanetCCRMA project.
I have kernel-2.4.20-31.1.caps.rh90 installed on it and boots fine with alsa
support and everything. I was wondering if its possible to get my gigE card
recognized so at the very least I have net access. how might I get this
working? how do I find the patch? Is there somewhere I can download the RH9
i686 rpm kernel source file for version 2.4.20-31.1.caps.rh90 so I can
rpmbuild the kernel with the gigE patch? Am I going in the right direction here?
cheers,
Noah
