I tried doing the exact same thing as suggested in reply to my previous post
(attachment). No errors are reported. but, the card never works. I checked
on the hub. The link and the activity leds dont come on. But i am sure it is
not a faulty connection because it works fine in the Windows partition.
There was a post in the new user newsgroup that there are some problems with
the 3Com 900-Combo card. Is there a fix for the driver ? The card i have
is a 3Com 900-Combo rev A, is the problem applicable to this rev?
Thanks,
Dennis…
