The SME "Smolt" page shows all network cards actually in use by SME servers:http://smolt.contribs.org/static/stats/by_class_NETWORK.htmlSME 7.x should support any hardware that is supported by Centos 4 (but the Centos wiki only lists 3 Realtek NICs):http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/HardwareList/
If you have a driver disk type sme dd
If the extra driver is actually needed, perhaps these instructions in http://wiki.contribs.org/Booting could help:
Input: IMHO this is not worth..every time you'll update your server with newer kernel you'll have to ricompile the driver..buy a supported nicmy 2€c
as you've been told, take a look here:http://smolt.contribs.org/static/stats/by_class_NETWORK.htmlI suggest you a intel e1000 based nic
realtek chipsets usually have performance issues and sometime compatibility ones..I repeat, intel is the way to go..
Oke thank you. Is this card oke ? http://www.acesdirect.nl/product/783271/?c_id=17#tabsCan someone tell me if this card is the right choice.
I've used these: http://www.acesdirect.nl/product/110329/intel_pro_1000gtenet_pci/PCI instead of PCI-E though...
