In a hurry, due to my then budget and my stupidity bought this cards which just has a .c file under its linux folder in its driver floppy. My connection is coming from Local ISP a franchisee of Pacenet ISP called BBPaceThane. I have a CAT5 cable running from a switch froma a 7-story building to 5th floor. I am compelled to use windows to access internet which I dont want to. -- Regards, Rajagopal
