RE: [Cooker] Mdk 7.1 Beta 3 - Text Install Bug
Hrm, you seem slightly confused. 3COM cards include: 3C509B - ISA 10MB 3C905B - PCI 10/100MB Which one do you mean? They use the following drivers: 3C509B = 3c509.o 3C905B = 3c59x.o I have found that quite often, using the DOS installation diskette (which you can download from 3Com's site, it's "Disk 2" I think), and having the software auto-configure the card will fix any problems, as there may be an unknown address/IRQ/something conflict that you don't know about that the software can detect. Usually after doing that, the module works fine. Don't forget a line in your /etc/conf.modules, "alias eth0 3c59x" or "alias eth0 3c509". Don Head Linux Mentor Wave Technologies, Inc.
