I'm running a Pentium II 166 MHz with 128 MB RAM and a 3c450 ethernet card. I have used this computer before with LM 7.2 and everything worked like a charm. Now after a recent reformat/reinstall (tried to upgrade to 8) it won't detect the NIC. Everything else works just fine, but no luck with the card. I even tried uninstalling 8 and having a go at it with 7.2 again but it was to no avail. I've tried configuring the card both at install (every single 3Com driver fails) and through DrakConf. Harddrake doesn't even show any NIC and obviously ifconfig doesn't yield anything either. Any advice?
I've got a basic working knowledge of Linux including command line and I've got Running Linux + Net Admins Guide + Nutshell so you can refer me to any of those if it'd make things any easier for you. Thanks to anyone who can help. Peace, Isaac
