If you're talking about this page:

http://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/mac/enet3c589/

do NOT load the Farallon drivers first. Not only are they not needed, they
will conflict (possibly badly) with the hacked ones available above. The
hacked driver I have for download are sufficient by themselves.

I need some data points for a 3400 so I'd love to see how this would work.

May I put these up on the page as data points? What exact model were the
cards in use?
