Description Gregory Smith 2004-12-26 10:28:21 UTC

I have a powermac clone with no built-in ethernet, so I use an RTL8139 NIC (which has Mac drivers). The 1.4 cd included drivers for this card and many others but the 2004.3 install cd does not. Unless there is a serious space issue I think it would be good to include drivers for many PCI ethernet cards.

I included a lot more ethernet modules on the 2005.0 ppc LiveCD.  Please report if you still miss one (of course rtl8139 is included).
