Then they were shipped in a manilla envelope with no bubble wrap. They worked as good as the $50 590 I got from office depot. As they came off ebay, I have no idea how they were used, if the chipsets had been flashed, and there are no jumpers. I struggled for about an hour until I read an old post from like 97 or something where it was suggested to reserve irq 10 for isa in bios. I was fixed right up. Would you try that please? Set it up in netconf and insmod 3c509, then service network restart. post ifconfig if this don't work. -s
