[yellowfin] GNIC II Driver

[shreenivasa HV]

Does the driver which comes with kernel 2.4 work fine???? It never works for 
me for a simple setup of two machines connected thru' corss-over. Also, I 
have never been able to get two cards in a single machine working. If anyone 
has any idea about it do post it.

Thanks,
Shreeni.
