You can use Linux TCP/IP without any networking hardware at all---configuring
|
|
``loopback'' mode allows you to talk to yourself. This is necessary for
|
|
some applications and games which use the ``loopback'' network device.
|

However, if you want to use Linux with an Ethernet TCP/IP network, you need
|
|
one of the following Ethernet cards:
|
|
3com 3c503, 3c503/16;
|
|
Novell NE1000, NE2000;
|
|
Western Digital WD8003, WD8013;
|
|
Hewlett Packard HP27245, HP27247, HP27250.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The following clones are reported
|
|
to work: WD-80x3 clones: LANNET LEC-45; NE2000 clones: Alta Combo, Artisoft
|
|
LANtastic AE-2, Asante Etherpak 2001/2003, D-Link Ethernet II,
|
|
LTC E-NET/16 P/N 8300-200-002, Network Solutions HE-203, SVEC 4 Dimension
|
|
Ethernet, 4-Dimension FD0490 EtherBoard 16, and D-Link DE-600, SMC Elite 16.
|
|
<P>
|
|
See the Linux Ethernet HOWTO for a more complete discussion of Linux
|
|
Ethernet hardware compatibility.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Linux also supports SLIP, which allows you to use a modem to access the
|
|
Internet over the phone line. In this case, you'll need a modem
|
|
compatible with your SLIP server---most servers require a 14.4bps V.32bis
|
|
modem.
