Next one a 3com905b Cyclone, Supported I might add, > Will NOT auto configure. Fine. 'lspci -v' in ML9.0rc1 says I have a: Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 30). Seems the same one :) > So the option says, want to configure manually...well OK I think i can do > that ... WRONG! I switched my HDD to a spare 1 GB one and started to install SNF. I have only that one NIC and it was recognised and assigned an IP address. 'configure manually' only gave me options to change IP address etc. . Switching to VC2 (ctrl-alt-F2) gave me a # prompt and 'lspci -v' listed my NIC. 'dmesg' also mentioned recognizing the card. 'lsmod' listed the 3c59x module for the card. > I get hit with this: > > SwitchDelay (?)

I think something went wrong earlier during install with recognising your NIC. Maybe moving the NIC to another slot or trying another NIC? Or see what happens if you remove the D-Link NIC? Does the NIC work under LM8.2? In the BIOS is 'PnP OS installed' set to 'no'? > I'm so stumped... ramming my head into a brick wall sounds more pleasant > than configuring this by hand.... > > can i not just do the configuration by hand or by auto probe (which fails > during the install) after its all installed!? > > Ty > > > --- > Femme Hey, good luck!
