Help! Need comprehensive(?) list of Hardware/Drivers for Linux--especially network cards

Post by Dennis E. Faug » Sun, 27 Dec 1998 04:00:00



Are there any reasonably comprehensive list of hardware and/or drivers for
use with Linux? I've spent several hours searching web sites, found
(finally) 3Com drivers, would like to use less expensive cards (Note: I
want to try using "Extreme Linux", in a cluster at some point, but mostly
would just like to know what I can and can't use with Linux). Was planning
on using latest Red Hat distribution, but will consider any/all if I can
get good hardware support/documantation! Advice comments welcome!

Compatibility info is rather distributed, sad to say.
Deja News is often the best source of current info.
