Oh my goodness... a ISA 3com card? WOW!
Well, does Mandrake recognize it? Check /etc/modules.conf and /proc/interrupts. Do
you
see anything in there having to do with Mandrake at all? Maybe something along these
lines?
[timh@r2d2 timh]$ cat /etc/modules.conf | grep eth0
alias eth0 3c59x
[timh@r2d2 timh]$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep eth0
3: 178202 XT-PIC usb-uhci, usb-uhci, eth0
I have a motherboard that supports shared IRQs, so it shares an IRQ with USB. But
since
USB is disabled, it's never used.
If you see something like that in those two config files, you may just need to use
HardDrake to configure the card correctly.
Start out with HardDrake. If it doesn't show the NIC, then check /etc/modules.conf and
/proc/interrupts for things like the above. Since it's an ISA card, make sure the
kernel
supports ISA, and that your motherboard hasn't disabled it in the software.
