Hi again,
the boot-disk (linux as well as dos) recognizes the NIC correctly. The
correct module is being loaded, I can see the NIC parameters as well as
the correct MAC address during boot process.
Thanks again for your help,
Chris

Hi all,
seems like I have all the unwilling NICs here:
This time, it´s a SIS900 onboard NIC. I tried to boot using both the
linux bootcd and the appropriate dos bootdisk, but
the PC won´t get a lease from my dhcp.
It tries several times (debug, sending discover) and then always drops
to shell.
I installed the PC unattended using a 3com NIC then, booted the OS
(W2kSP4) and tried to get a lease with the onboard SIS900: Worked
perfectly!
If there´s anybody having a hint for that issue, I´d really appreciate
it.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Chris
