Re: [newbie] 3com card problem
Well it still didn't work. I am at a complete loss. I even tried another 3c509 card I had just in case this one was bad. No diffrence. It just does not see the card.

THanks, Jeff hi jeff, this is what worked for me : 1) enable pnp on your 3com card 2) set irq and io with the 3com utility according to the free resources on your machine 3) set "pnp os=no" in your computers bios 4) on next bootup your bios will init the 3com card and linux will recognize it with the parameters u have set before in your 3com config utility, upon loading the 3c509 module. try this (it HAS to work) and come back if any problems occur...:) regards, quay
