Hi, I recently purchased a 3Com 3c905cx-tx-m (writings on card) PCI NIC. My machine currently has a 3c905B-TX NIC in it. So naturally I assumed (big mistake) that the new card would work as well as the old one.
I installed RH7.3 on it via NFS using the old card. Now when I boot the machine I get the message about being able to configure my card, and it appears to be set up for a local boot. (PXE??) The configuration message dissappears and I get a new message, "...press N to boot from network..." so I dont press anything, then I get "...GRUB..." then nothing, no grub picture nothing, any suggestions. The card does not have a jumper for disabling the management features. The 3Com online documentation lists the card as beig Linux compatible. Any good suggestions? <unbiased rant> To make matters worse the switch on the 3rd Floor of the civil mech building went down at about 4pm yesterday afternoon and I can not get access to the internet from my office. Ximian exolution does some really funky stuff when the network goes down!! </rant> Thanks, Mark Carey
