Re: Micro Channel Ethernet...
I found another device driver disk, but it is taking forever to download.
I found I had the same problem as you: version 2.1 wouldn't install (not
recognizing /dev/eda) but 2.0 is working out. I am really looking for
3Com's 3c523 device driver, on a driver disk or elsewhere. Thanks for your
help.
