Title: Netgear PCI Adapter GA311
Post by: sits on September 28, 2005, 02:21:43 AM

Just a quick ? Does SME 6.0.1-01 support the Netgear GA311 gigabit adapter at gigabit speed, or do I need to load the linux driver supplied by Netgear this card is working at this time, But I don't know how to check if its running at full duplex 1000 speed

Hoping for a quick responce to this
Thanks All

HI,

see if the output of "dmesg" gives you any hints.
Login to the console, type "dmesg" (no quotes)
look for lines that is network card related...

It may or may not give you info on the network card...

Thanks meanpenguin

your reply most welcome dmesg reports the driver loaded for this adapter, auto negotiation enabled, correct chipset identified.

I hooked up a gigabit switch and did some transfer tests  
and glad to say that SME 6.01-01 out of the box does support this adapter. :hammer:
