If so, what do I need to do to get it to > work? No. There's a 3c590 driver around (that might also support the 595), but it doesn't use DMA, so it's effectively useless for 100 Mbit/s. In addition, Rod Grimes did tell me that these 3Com cards are known for troubles also with other systems. If you need a 10/100 Ethernet card, get a DEC-21040 based one. At least SMC does make one, there are most likely more manufacturers. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
