Is it supported by Mandrake? That is the big question. The 3Com 3c5x9 did appear in the list of bundled drivers when I installed Mandrake 7. I have played with the NetConf, trying manual and dhcp configs. Everything there saves correctly but eth0 is still not a listed device. Procs referring to eth0 all return No such device and NO eth devices are in /dev. The link light is on on the NIC but no link or activity appears on the router. I confirmed the NIC settings again. I was able to run a NIC echo test that DID indicate activity on the router. So, only running under Linux, no router link activity appears. Makes sense since there is no eth device. So why are there no eth devices? Shouldn't they appear in /dev?
