Hi all,

I had a clone computer that has FC1 installed on it and
I wanted to go to FC2. I backed up the data I needed
and did a clean install of FC2 on it. It recogizes the
NIC card which is a Netgear FE310TX as a Lite-On
100TX and the thing will not access my network. I
tried to change the NIC driver in the gui but there is no
way to add an "other" driver. It has a list of drivers and
that's it. I have downloaded the driver disk from
Netgear but how do I get it to install? in command mode?

thanks,
charles.....

PS. I too have been getting squirly things happening in FC2.
