[Techtalk] Error installing the driver of my 10/100MB Ethernet card

[Samer Yhya]

Hi again,
I don’t understand why nobody gave a reaction to my
question. Is this the wrong mailing list for this sort
of questions? Is it impossible to answer? Do you need
more information? Should I buy another network card?

Please reply, anything you have to say will be much
appreciated.

Thanks
