What is your model number for your 3com eth card? What distribution of linux are you running? (caldara, RedHat, Mandrake, Etc) and what version? I have a 3c574tx PCMCIA 3com card in my laptop. I am running Redhat 6.2 and is working fine now. Let me know so I can try to help. On Wed, 25 Oct 2000, you wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a 3com Ethernet card on a dell 5000e laptop.
