No. The driver was the one which came with Red Hat 7.3. Now I am
in the process of trying out the latest; However following the driver update
instructions,
I am getting compile errors on system header files. .
I have kernel 2.4.-18 sources (the one which is in RH 7.3) in
/usr/src/linux.
One basic question; Should I build kernel before compiling tulip.c
or just untarring it in /usr/src sufficient? Because I do not find
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h file. Also the compilation error
is to he fact
that I am including kernel files in user space. (#error). I saw there are
problems in RH 7.0; Does the same problem have in 7.3 as well ?
I also rpm'ed the netdriver file for precompiled versions, but it puts in
/libs/..2.2-something
and if  I insmod it it has indefined symbols. Let me play with it more

No, It does not have Home PNA.  This compaq series has models with Home PNA
but when I purchased 3 yrs ago, I bought without one. It also does not have
add-on
transceiver board for 100baseTx.  This is the first time I am putting Linux
on this machine,
was running FreeBsd. Starting to use Linux...

Thanks,
