Configuration of National Instrument PXI Box

[Garry Herzberg]

I have a National Instruments PXI chassis w/ an 8156B controller I am
trying to load SUSE Linux 7.1 on. We are experiencing difficulty in
configuring the network adapter for the controller. National said it is
a SMC 91C92 chip on the controller. SUSE supports in their driver
database a SMC 9143 drver but it seems to be not configuring properly.
Does anyone have a better driver to install or an alternate driver that
one should try?

SMC may have a better Linux driver for their chip available. They have drivers (as well as a technical support request form) on their website at http://www.smsc.com
