AT1700FTPlus nic setup

["Phyllis L. Owens" <plowens@ix.netcom.com>]

I installed 2.1r3 into an office PC with an AT1700 10Base-FL nic.  After I 
added "io=0x300 irq=5" to the command line, the supplied 1700 driver 
installed using the install drivers menu and later the ifconfig command 
properly identified the adapters hardware address.  BUT I get a SIOCADDRT 
warning about not finding a network during boot and ping does not cause any 
activity on the card's tx LED.  The AT1700 driver message during boot 
reports the card in 10Base-2 mode (It only has 10Base-T & FL).  I have 
searched for alternate drivers - found nothing.  The NT & Win95 systems 
that share the box have no problem talking to the Novell hybrid system.  I 
am definitely a newbe and could use any suggestions.

Thank you,
