Indication enable is 0000, interrupt enable is 0000. EEPROM contents: Model number 3c509 version 5, base I/O 0x300, IRQ 10, 10baseT port. 3Com Node Address 00:50:DA:7E:30:2A (used as a unique ID only). OEM Station address 00:50:DA:7E:30:2A (used as the ethernet address). Manufacture date (MM/DD/YY) 11/11/99, division 6, product WK. Options: half duplex, enable linkbeat. The computed checksum matches the stored checksum of 7e03. The enables don't look right, could that be my problem? Regards, Dave.
I'm sorry, but I have to state the obvious, just in case its something really simple...
modprobe 3c509 and maybe check the logs after that. A
