Hello
So far I have tried two different Linux distros: Fedora Core 4 and Debian net install. But had the same issue. They both recognized the network card okay (cannot vouch for Debian since the init screen rolls quite fast). But as soon as the system boots and the kernel loads, looking at the back of my network card, the link LED goes dead. Needless to say that I have no access to any network after that point. In windows everything works allright. The last test was today (Aug. 30th 2005) with a Debian net install built today. It just does not work.
The card is a generic AMD HomePNA card. It worked in my previous Linux evaluations, a few years ago, but not with these two new tries.
I intend to dual with Windows, but I doubt that has anything to do with it, since the link LED did burn on P.O.S.T. screen and continued until the kernel started loading.
I am clueless as what to do with this.
