Re: 3c509 troubles
Hello!
I've also got a 3c509b and it works fine. I switched on PnP mode in the
DOS-based "3com utilites" setup program and then you don't really have to do
anything complicated any more, because the bios automatically assigns
irq/dma. Perhaps, there's just another pnp card using the interrupt of the
3com and this could be changed by switching the 3com to pnp. And: You've got
to compile and install the kernel module for 3c509, it normally is able to
autodetect irq, i/o etc.. For the irq etc... configuration, you could use
isapnp, but it doesn't seem to be necessary for this card. I never used
linux 3c...setup in my life.
Kind Regards,
Stephan Hachinger
