Hello,

this controller doesn't appear in the compatibility list.
Is it supported?

Bye,

I think it does, but you need to make some changes. During install ESGS will use epro100 driver. This wont work, you need to change it to e100 driver. To do so you should search in this list for "Intel Pro" you will find a great answer from Darrel.

see http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/genpage2.cgi?pagename=7.1

this states:

Note: A bug in the eepro100 driver prevents use of more than one of these cards
simultaneosly in one machine. This should not affect situations where the e epro100
driver is used by both network cards, but the chipset is different.
To determine the chipset on your network card, run the lspci command.

-wouldn't recommend on using this one <:)
