Title: NICs for Teleworker
Post by: gomaze on November 11, 2008, 07:45:00 AM

I am trying to do one of two different things.

1. Find out how to embed drivers for a NIC into the Teleworker OS.

-or-

2. Find a list of compatible NIC chip sets that work with Teleworker.

Gomaze,
I looked on MOL for a Hardware Compat List and could only find info on compatible servers.

Take a look here: http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ#Hardware_Compatibility_List (http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ#Hardware_Compatibility_List)
Bear in mind that Mitel Standard Linux started out from a project called the SME server.   You can the website www.contribs.org (http://www.contribs.org) now takes you to the WIKI site.   

This software is still maintained outside of Mitel.  There are a lot of add ons that can be put on the server.  YOu don't need a Mitel license to run it.  Worth checking out.  On the WIKI site there is a forum where you can get some help installing drivers.  Just remember that when you step outside of Mitel's supported environment, you may have trouble getting support.

MSL is built off of CentOS 4.x. Find an RPM that supports the NIC chipset you want and install it. Or, build the desired drivers from source.
