I tried I.e., the ep driver hasn't found the card? Is it set in Plug'nPray mode? More specifically, you should make sure that someone (like Plug'nPray) has not moved the IRQ of the 3Com card to something other than 10, which is where the install disk wants to see it. If it has, you can either boot the DOS disk that has the 3Com utilities on it and set the card to its default factory state (IRQ 10, I/O addr 0x300) or boot the install disk with -c and adjust there. (If you turn on the Debug options of the install, and watch the alternate (F2) screen, you can see whether the ep0 device is probed or not, rather than having to wait until you get to the network interface screen later). -- ---------- Deborah Gronke Bennett (WD5HJH) kernel and device drivers engineer deborah@microunity.com (408)-734-8100 MicroUnity Systems Eng., 255 Caspian Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1015 USA
