Think we may be making some progress here guys.
I went to install the driver from the link Darren sent me and I get a message saying that the item "network" cannot be deleted, move the file to another folder and try running the installer again. then
I check the System folder where (I think) the Asante installer is trying to move "Network" file, and of course there's no file there that I see named network. So I try running the installer again, only this time after booting up with all the extensions turned off - hoping this will maybe solve the problem - no dice. Thinking I can outsmart the computer, I tried moving the "Network" file from the Asante installer to the System folder to install that way. Now I get a message saying "the command could not be completed because an invisible item with the same name already exists in this location."
So my questions now, why would there be an invisible file already in the Extensions folder called "network?" why is it invisible, do I really need it (if it's causing me not to be able to install the correct drivers for the Asante ethernet card), how can I delete it if I don't?
If my memory serves, when using Open Transport the classic networking files are made invisible by the Network Configuration Switcher (or whatever that application was called). Likewise, the Open Transport files are made invisible when the Classic networking is enabled. I remember thinking it was a very primitive and potentially confusing way of doing things... but it sounds like you need to switch to Classic networking.
