Hey,
More info, I didn't have any ethernet drivers instaled at all. I just
presumed OT 1.1.2 installed a mess of them by default.
The card that is working says: Asante 1994 MCNB Rev. A. I checked
Asante's site and their general info seems to be geared toward system 6 and
mactcp. The card has one jumper: J2, which disabling doesn't help. I
pulled the other card out in case it was conflicting, but to no avail.
I've added ethernet nb ext. Do I have the right driver? The asante
drivers seem to be for mactcp, but I thought the apple drivers worked
anyway.
