Hello, I recently acquired a fairly old computer. It has a 20GB hard disk, 256MB of RAM and a Pentium MMX 200MhZ processor. It also has a 3Com Etherlink III card rev. B, which means that it is supposed to use the 3c509B module. I tried installing Debian etch from a netinstall CD, but I failed,

if you believe in voodoo, move the nic to a different pci slot. Oh, right, that's the other thing I forgot to mention. I do not think that this is a PCI card. I remember someone telling me on a Debian IRC channel that it is AT, and, also, lspci is not reporting it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email

Does anyone have that utility. I could not find it. All I found out was that it is called 3c5x9cfg.exe. I found out that the card has an IRQ of 5 (as printed at startup). However, it says nothing about IO. The IRQ is shared by no other (PCI, there are no other ISA devices) device. However, I
