A complete list of supported boards is available in
|
|
the Ethernet HOWTOs posted monthly to comp.os.linux.announce
|
|
by Paul Gortmaker.<A HREF="footnode.html#2215"><IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="gif" SRC="foot_motif.gif"></A>

<P>
|
|
Here's a list of the more widely-known boards supported by Linux. The
|
|
actual list in the HOWTO is about three times longer. However, even if
|
|
you find your board in this list, check the HOWTO first; there are
|
|
sometimes important details about operating these cards. A case in point
|
|
is the case of some DMA-based Ethernet boards that use the same DMA
|
|
channel as the Adaptec 1542 SCSI controller by default. Unless you move
|
|
either of them to a different DMA channel, you will wind up with the
|
|
Ethernet board writing packet data to arbitrary locations on your hard
|
|
disk.

|
3Com EtherLink Both 3c503 and 3c503/16 are supported, as are 3c507 and
|
|
3c509. The 3c501 is supported, too, but is too slow to be
|
|
worth buying.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Novell Eagle NE1000 and NE2000, and a variety of clones. NE1500 and
|
|
NE2100 are supported, too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Western Digital/SMC WD8003 and WD8013 (same as SMC Elite and SMC Elite
|
|
Plus) are supported, and also the newer SMC Elite 16 Ultra.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hewlett Packard HP 27252, HP 27247B, and HP J2405A.
|
|
D-Link DE-600 pocket adaptor, DE-100, DE-200, and DE-220-T. There's
|
|
also a patch kit for the DE-650-T, which is a PCMCIA card.(4)
|
|
|
|
|
|
DEC DE200 (32K/64K), DE202, DE100, and DEPCA rev E.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Allied Teliesis AT1500 and AT1700.

To use one of these cards with , you may use a pre-compiled
|
|
kernel from one of the major distributions. These generally
|
|
have drivers for all of them built in. In the long term,
|
|
however, it's better to roll your own kernel and compile in only those
|
|
drivers you actually need.
