You can do that with the drivers disk available via ftp from www.3com.com . Unfortunately you must boot to a DOS disk to use their configuration utility, but you only have to do it once :) When using a 3C509, I do the following: 1) Boot a DOS disk, insert the 3Com disk, and run 3C5X9CFG.EXE. 2) Disable Plug and Play. 3) (Optional) Reboot to DOS disk, run 3C5X9CFG.EXE, and set IRQ and IO addresses. (If you do this during step 1 it may not work). 4) Reboot to rescue disk, supply boot values if appropriate. The Linux driver name is 3c5x9. Usually the kernel will detect the card automagically unless you have more than 1 NIC or some other conflict. 5) Have fun!

For the second card I added the ether parameter to lilo: append = reboot=c ether=0,0,eth1 (reboot=c might be the default now; I don't know. Without it, my soundcard would hang the bootup. Not that I reboot very often.) -- ...RickM... -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

RE: Eithernet Cards on bo
Hello: To the best of my knowledge there is no reason why the 3C509 card would not work. You will probably have to do a kernel rebuild. I suggest you down load the 2.0.34 sources however.
