I put in a D-Link 10/100 ethernet adapter and cannot get Apple System Profiler to recognise it. The user manual isn't any use. D-Link provides a MacOS 9 driver for this adapter, but it's not working unless the system can recognise this card. (The card is OK because it was working fine in a PC before.) The built-in ethernet port of the Umax is actually on a riser card, but I cannot remove it because it also contains the printer and modem ports. I suspect if I can somehow inactivate the built-in ethernet port, the system might recognise the D-Link card. There's probably a jumper somewhere I need to set, but I have no idea where. I've tried deep zapping the PRAM, and pressing the reset button on the motherboard without avail. I've also tried shuffling the D-LInk card around the PCI slots. Anyone can help please? >> Just because the card was working in a PC beforehand, doesn't guarantee that it will work with the Mac.
D-Link makes several 10/100 Ethernet PCI cards, but I only know of _one_ of them that is Mac-compatible. The one that _is_ Mac-compatible is the "DFE-530TX+". The little "+" on the end of the product ID is _very_ important, because D-Link also makes a "DFE-530TX" card (note no "+") that DOES NOT WORK with the Mac - no drivers for it. Which card do you have? As a point of information, I have used the DFE-530TX+ in both an s900 and PowerMac 9600 without any problems (using the D-Link driver). - John -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
