I upgraded cdf29 to the 2.4.21-40 kernel and installed one of the D-Link gb network cards. The card is listed with lspci, but it will not load the sk98lin driver. I downloaded the latest source and tried compiling it, but it gave me a bunch of errors. Through google, I found this page:
http://ncdf68.fnal.gov/twiki/bin/view/Main/MoversUpgrade#By_Wayne (Hit cancel on the window that comes up and look under “By Wayne”)
And it looks like Fermilab may have fixed this driver, but since I don’t have an account there, I can’t see for myself. I asked one of the students to download the driver file for me and we’ll see if that works.
I also bought a couple more Intel cards because I know those will work.
