Other Help Topics :: ThinkNIC

I have one, and it's not working.
The problem come from the processor (a Cyrix MediaGX) who present come kind of bug, and the fact that it's *necessary* to disable completly the floppy disk driver to avoid a lockup at boot.

BTW, I'm trying to dig through the website to eventually find the version of the kernel used, and the .config file that has generated it... Not an easy task ;-)

I'm willing to post an update/howto guide/files here if I can get this damn thing to work.

whooooooooooooooot. what more can i say

and welcome to the forums tlewis

hi guys, i have a nic and dsl 0.8 boots just fie on it. i have not yet tried 0.9 but should work too. i signed upfor the new thinknic isp. not bad, nice account manager. they are working on a new cd for the nic.

Hi - I just got a THINKNIC on ebay and 1.5 seems to work very well. I can even load the image from a USB pen drive, but it still needs to boot from the DSL CD. I'm looking to find a way to hack the NIC flash to point to the image on the USB with their loader, but the info is sparse on the flash hacking side. Short of that, a laptop HD is a really easy mod to this box as a plan B. Anyone else have experience with DSL and the THINKNIC ? It's really a neat little box!
