Linux drivers for SUN Quad PCI card
Hi everyone.
I have a question regarding drivers for a Sun QUAD network card. I belive it is a X1034A card.
The card is also marked with a label saying: *5015406063174* and a barcode. On another label it says: P04280713
Is there any chance that this card would function under a Linux operating system on an intel x86 server?
Does anyone know where I could find the drivers for this configuration?
Best regards,
Rod

Take a closer look at the actual card,
particularly at the central Ethernet chip.
If I recall correctly, it is a DEC DC2115x chipset for 10/100Mbit connectivity,
and should be natively recognized by Linux.

Install it and boot your system.
You should know in just a few moments whether it'll work,
or whether the Sun firmware is of any concern.
