I have all of 0.99pl2 installed on a notebook.
I have a Xircom parallel port ethernet adapter that I want to use to
connect my notebook to our LAN.
Has anyone got a Xircom to work on the parallel port?
Won't happen. The kernel requires source code to be available;
Xircom requires that source code NOT be available. You bought the
wrong parallel port adapter to use with an open system.
The following manufacturers support open systems:
D-Link - 714-455-1688
Solectek - 619-450-1220
Accton - 415-266-9800
Compulan - 408-922-6888
[ and soon Kodiak - 510-226-7840 ]
Please tell them that Russell Nelson sent you because of their past
support for packet drivers and free software in general.
-russ <nelson@crynwr.com> What canst *thou* say?
Crynwr Software Crynwr Software sells packet driver support.
