I have a high speed commercially provided internet connection. It runs
on the same cable as my cable TV. I presume that the signals are
carried at different frequencies.
It seems to work fine using a cheap NE2000 ethernet card on my linux
box, but when I try a PCI card--I have tried SMC 8432 and 3COM 590 --
things don't work. So, I presume that it there some 'frequency
filtering' going on with the NE2000 clone which is not going on with the
other cards. I would like to understand this. Can anyone suggest some
literature related to this kind of thing. The other cards work fine on
my local net.
Thanks,
-Sheldon
