Ubuntu problem

    I need help getting Ubuntu (7.10 Gutsy) to recognise my ethernet card. Can someone help me out?

    I have an Intel EthernetExpress PRO/10 ISA card. I can't find any Ubuntu drivers for it, and I don't know what to do next.

    Any suggestions?
    Any help is much appreciated.

    If your card is on the ISA slot, it must be quite old. If although its age it's not supported by such a recent OS, I have to say your chances of getting it to work are looking slim already.

    Yeah, it's old.
    Before I got a reply to this thread I went out and bought a newer card and it worked straight out of the box, so I guess my problem is solved. Thanks for y'all's help. ^_^
