Look, each distro is going to load modules differently - and possibly assign IRQ's and IO addresses differently - what you might try to do is to change the options for loading the 3com modules in the /etc/modules.conf file - you should be able to read the info on that module under the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net directory - even if it means reading the header code (.c and .h) for the options... The 3com card are quite standard as you can well imagine, so it's got to be something silly and simple. You might want to either disable PNP OS in your BIOS or try changing the options for loading the module. It HAS to work...they're flawless cards...even moving it into a different slot might have a better effect, but that's more work and editing a text file... -- Sun Mar 30 07:40:00 EST 2003 07:40:00 up 8 days, 19:27, 4 users, load average: 0.18, 0.11, 0.09 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ linux user:267497 * MDK 9.1 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting machine no:194239 * RH 7.3 * Sales - Service - Support - Tutor ------------------------------------------------------------------ ** This messages was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer ** "Well, well, well!
