I went to the hardware compatability section at redhat.com, and found that compex was "pending authorization" or something along the lines of that. Does anyone know where I can get drivers/tutorials on how to get this thing to work? Or should I just buy a new card?

Doh I just noticed the tech support section of the forum.

Never heard of your nic. Try searching for it at Google.

Ok when I made that post I was at work, so now I have some more info on the card.

Its a Compex RL100ATX 10/100 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter.

Gah thats a long name.

Still have not heard of Compex.

As suggested, try a Google search.

Did you get a driver disk with your NIC? I know the Compex RL2000 card I have came with a driver, but works with NE2000 support anyway.

I know yours does not support that but check your driver disk, if you have one. :)

Yeah if they give you a driver on the disk, chances are good that it'll work with the NIC. If not, just pick up a Realtek-based one for $20. Cheap AND quality :)
