I have the 3COM509B NIC, that functions perfectly in Linux and Windows. I suggest writing down the exact I/O, IRQ (using whatever method you like to retireve these #'s )from Windows and using those parameter's in Linux. If the card works in Windows, it will work in Linux (with the right I/O, IRQ). HTH Jaguar "SJN" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Linuxers, > > I'm using Linux Mandrake 7.0.
