this is kinda late... you've actually gotten the card working after using a DOS program. you could have used <a href=http://www.freedos.org>FreeDOS</a> instead of using something from MeSsy (DOS or Windows). OR, you could have gotten this from Dave Becker's Scyld site: http://www.scyld.com/diag/3c5x9setup.html and done the thing in Linux. i remember using it often when we had loads of 3c509s at the office. i -still- like using that card, but we've shifted to d-link stuff since. i think i would not hesitate to go back to using 3com stuff if the price is right. eric -- ___ _____________________________ eric pareja (xenos AT maharlika.upm.edu.ph) \e/ [ Philippine Linux Users' Group ] Linux User #8159 http://counter.li.org _v_ [ Python Power! ] [ Debian Rocks! ] [ Unwitty Saying Here! ] [] Software & \\\\/ Free the books! http://www.bookcrossing.com/referral/pusakat ] Freedom .\\/ http://www.livejournal.com/users/pusakat | www.upm.edu.ph/~xenos/weblog _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
