Yes, in fact there is a LAN association. But I don't believe that it would have any thing to do with it's activation. Essentially, I'm just curious if linux provides some sort of 'failsafe' driver that is globally compatable.

The NE2000 drivers don't seem to be working correctly, but it's most likely my fault. Also, what does Suse have to offer that is better than Redhat.
