Hi, Often the old Asante Card don't work with modern 10/100 switches, sometimes even not with 10/100 Hubs as well. You need a pure 10 Mbps Hub to let the card work without problems.
It can be that the leds on the Se/30 Bracket and on your switch light up in half-duplex mode, however this is non guarrantee it will work. It's likely the whole thing freezes within seconds as soon as you start transferring data.... Look for a 3Com Officeonnect Hub 8C for example on Ebay. I have the same card in my SE/30 and have gone through the same trouble as you have. The card does not work Full-Duplex.

I just put an Asante card in my SE/30 and upgraded the OS to version 7.1. But when I select Ethertalk it just says it cannot and boots me back to Localtalk. The Asante Troubleshooter passes the Memory Buffer Test, but fails on the Network Interface Controller Test with "NIC Transmission Failed". My Dell 2716 switch says it autonegotiates at 10M Half Duplex, is that correct for this card? I tried to force it to 10M Full Duplex but it didn't seem to like that either. Maybe tomorrow I'll try putting a dumb switch in between it. I don't have a Hub or I would try that too I guess. The Green lights do come on when it's powered up on the back of the card on the SE/30 and also on the switch... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
