[FW1] Linux and ethernet card problem?
Hi,
I have installed FW-1 version 4.1 SP1 for Linux on a "standard PC" with 3 NIC's. Kernel
version supported is installed (2.2.x). I'm using 3COM 3C900B-COMBO cards.
I boot the machine and FW-1 start. Then I stop FW-1 and then after a minute or two
i can not even ping a host on the local network.
A mailing-list pointed me to a newer loadable module driver for the NIC's which I installed.
Problem then was that the machine halted completely av a few minutes (with FW-1 in operation)
Then I asked the local reseller if there were a list of supported cards.
Their list :
1. Intel 82558 based PCI Ethernet 10/100
2. Intel PRO/100+ 10/100
3. Olicom TokenRing
4. 3Com Fast EtherLink XL ( 3C905-TX ) 10/100
I checked a lot of resellers and they all said that these cards are not sold any more
(to old).
Ten days later and a lot telephone calls to the local reseller they still haven't been able
to provide me with newer list.
Would be great if someone could bring some light to this!
