3c509 NIC Not Supported under Knoppix?
This may seem like a weird question, but is the 3Com
EtherLink III (3c509) ISA NIC not
supported under Knoppix? I just booted up my hardware
testing system, which uses a 3c905,
and Knoppix failed to detect the NIC. I know this
card works, because I also have Win-98SE
on this same system, as well as the latest Debian
install, and both of them recognize the NIC
just fine.
Everything else in the system seems to operate happily
under Knoppix (though I can't seem to
eject the Knoppix CD in order to try out an audio CD),
just the NIC itself doesn't get
recognized, and running netcardconfig seems to confirm
this, as it returns the following error
message:
"No supported network cards found."
Oh, and thanks to the guys I chatted with on one of
the Debian IRC channels last night (if
you'se guys are subscribed to this list). I still
didn't get XFree86 to work right, but I do have a
better idea of what I'm doing now.
