I just asked about configuration of the router attached to a linux server and setup for the NICs on both Win & Linux stations. The answer from netgear was that although on the packaging they support Linux this is NOT free only the Windows support is free. The original reason that I had bought the netgear product was that the literature & package both indicated that it worked with linux. Needless to say I was extremely "!@#$%#@@###" when I learned that linux support came at a price, since linux issues had to be escaladed to their 2nd tier support & that level of support was not free! I never got to considering a third party driver or application after that response. norbert <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:les@futuresource.com">les@futuresource.com</a> wrote: <blockquote cite="mid1096304032.1465.5.camel@moola.futuresource.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On Mon, 2004-09-27 at 10:37, norbert wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hi, Its not that netgear will not give warranty but rather that they want to charge for it because I was in a Linux environment that left me totally discusted ! </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> That doesn't make any sense for a switch where the OS of the connected devices is irrelevant. Are you sure you aren't talking about a NIC or wireless adapter where you were asking them to support a driver written by someone else? --- Les Mikesell <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:les@futuresource.com">les@futuresource.com</a> _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.k12os.org"><http://www.k12os.org></a> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
