Yes, the 3c509 works (at least the one in my machione does:-). In your kernel config file you should have device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 vector epintr You can check this by booting your system with the -c flag. In /etc/hostname.ep0, you should have 168.121.253.90 netmask 0xffffff00 link# where link# is link0, link1, or link2. link2 is for UTP. link0 and link1 are for BNC and AUI, but I don't remember which is which. -- Steven G.
