5.5. Supported Ethernet Adapters
Either one ethernet adapter (in the case of dialup connectivity or server-only mode) or two ethernet adapters (for dedicated
connections in server and gateway mode) must be installed on your SME Server V5 with ServiceLink. This section describes which
types of ethernet adapter can be used in the computer that will become your server. (There are no restrictions on the ethernet adapters
in your other computers.)
Any adapters installed on the server must appear on the following supported list. Note that only PCI adapters are supported. The
PCMCIA adapters used in many laptops and the older ISA adapters are not supported.
Note: Because SME Server V5 with ServiceLink is based on Red Hat Linux version 7.1, PCI ethernet adapters that can work with
Red Hat 7.1 should also work with SME Server V5 with ServiceLink. You can find an up-to-date searchable database at Red Hat’s
web site at: http://hardware.redhat.com/redhatready/cgi-bin/us/db-hcl.cgi (Choose Network Device/Controller from the
"Hardware Category" menu.)
