I am running redhat 8, I have had trouble for years getting any modem or nic to work in linux. And thats basically the only thing that prevents me from keeping linux on my machine. Right now I have a Farallon NetLine PN796 USB 10/100 ethernet adapter and I cannot get it installed at all, doesn't help that I don't know what the hell I am doing when it comes to setting up hardware with linux anyways. Can someone please give me some advice. I have many other nic I can pop in my machine besides this one, including 3 3com etherlink III cards.
