[CVALE] Connecting to a T1

[Matt R Hall]

Hold on there! Generally Ethernet cards are about always supported.
This is why there are not separate drivers. Need not panic, just yet.
Here is a very helpful website that will tell you about your drivers
that you need for a machine. Just feed it the output of lspci -n as it
says:
http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/index.cgi

You can collect this output with KNOPPIX or with pretty much any Linux
install or boot CD. I'll burn you a KNOPPIX to save you the download
time if you like.  You can pick it up from my apartment.
