| The Linux Ethernet-HOWTO is a compilation of information about which Ethernet devices can be used for Linux, and how to set them up. This HOWTO is focused on the hardware and low-level driver aspect of the Ethernet cards, and does not cover the software end of things like ifconfig and route (this material is covered in the Network HOWTO).
Chapters include:
* Introduction * What card should I buy for Linux? * Frequently Asked Questions * Performance Tips * Vendor/Manufacturer/Model Specific Information * Cables, Coax, Twisted Pair * Software Configuration and Card Diagnostics * Technical Information * Networking with a Laptop/Notebook Computer * Miscellaneous
The Ethernet−Howto covers what cards you should and shouldn't buy; how to set them up, how to run more than one, and other common problems and questions. It contains detailed information on the current level of support for all of the most common ethernet cards available.
It does not cover the software end of things, as that is covered in the NET−3 Howto. Also note that general non−Linux specific questions about Ethernet are not (or at least they should not be) answered here. For those types of questions, see the excellent amount of information in the comp.dcom.lans.ethernet FAQ. You can FTP it from rtfm.mit.edu just like all the other newsgroup FAQs.
As this guide is getting bigger and bigger, you probably don't want to spend the rest of your afternoon reading the whole thing. And the good news is that you don't have to read it all. The HTML and Postscript/dvi versions have a table of contents which will really help you find what you need a lot faster. |
