GNetwork card on Linux

[jar982]

Hello,

I am trying to install a Diamond Home-Phoneline/Ethernet card on my Linux machine. I am using RedHat 7.0 and I dont think Diamond has any Linux drivers for it. If someone could help and tell me what I should do I would be most thankful. I dont know too much about Linux so the more details someone could give would be appriciated.

Thanx in advance

WRONG FORUM.

Is it a 10mbps card that does ethernet over your phoneline? if so, you're out of luck. the chip is a broadcom iline10, or broadcom 4210 (different names, same thing). broadcom doesn't release datasheets to just anyone, so you cant get the info you need to write your own driver, and NONE of the companies who make cards (intel, linksys, dlink, etc) release any linux drivers. that is the sole reason I can't run linux at home but at school I use a standard nic

Oh, and writing your own may be considered illegal if you do not have expressed written permission.
