Hi Dale,

Thanks for providing the instructions but they arn't going to work..
as they assume that a network already exists.

- Do you have the list of required packages for Michael?
- 'tar xzvf' should work on the .tar.gz file.

Do you know why the driver for this ethernet controller isn't included
in the standard Linux kernel?

Cheers,
Paul
