I, too, have had unusual difficulties in getting a Global Village combination modem/ethernet card to work. The main symptom was that I could never get it to appear in Appletalk as Alternate Ethernet. I tried all kinds of software installs; it was also a 28.8 card, which I flash upgraded to 33k. This was back when there was still some support for these, and I ended up sending it back to GV. They replaced it with a different, equivalent hardware card, presumably a known good refurbished card, to no avail.
I eventually gave up on it, but not before looking up the pin out of ethernet and verifying that each and every active ethernet pin was connected to a unique dongle connector pin - I don't think that my dongle was bad. No shorts. So.... I was left to conclude that it was some weird software incompatibility. I'm running OS8.1 on a PB1400/G3 for what it's worth. The solution for me was to buy a separate ethernet PCMCIA card. By the way upgradestuff used to a carry a PCMCIA, non-CardBus 10/100 ethernet card, but they're gone now. Anybody know how to contact Dave Manning? If someone has a GV combo card working on 1400 running 8.1, I'd sure like to correspond with you to find out what control panel versions etc you have got running.
