I had a similar problem when I did a clean install of 7.5.5 on my Quadra 630 with Comm Slot ethernet card. Mine was not an Apple card though, there were no obvious manufacturer's marks on it. I couldn't get the ethernet card to work with the fresh system folder and of course I had thrown the previous system folder away already. My problem was solved when I checked the Mac Driver Museum's network page: http://www.macdrivermuseum.com/network.shtml I looked at the chips on the card, and the names of the drivers, and found a match. The biggest chip on the card said "Sonic", and there was a driver from "Sonic Systems". The installer recognized my card, and the day was saved. -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
