Field Note #1 @sh0td0wn 2008-02-19

Uhh, yeah, i have the same problem...
6150 LE is never going to have QE/CI..
And for LAN, forcedeth never worked for me... I took out an old ethernet card and used it for internet.

Field Note #2 @BANKAI 2008-02-19

I have the same Video card and Lan card. For net, you can use any cheap pci card. When I have the video card working I post here.

Field Note #3 @sh0td0wn 2008-02-19

I used the Tulip driver for my ADMtek AN983 cheap card ripped off some Pentium II junk..

Unfortunately, I lag when I try to play games online with it... So I have to plug my ethernet cable to NFORCE to play.
