Hi I have found with some 3com cards, that I need to force the write to another, false, setup, and then force writing the correct setup, and then do a power-off deep boot, and only then I had life in those cards... This usually happened after I booted to M$... M$ does some weird stuff to those cards, and resetting them to use 10-base-T (RJ-45 cable) did required the above.... Jaska. Viestissä Keskiviikko 27.

AUI is not RJ45. AUI is the older thick wire Ethernet. BNC (or 10base2) is coax, and 10BaseT is RJ45. As I mentioned, it has been a while since I configured a 3Com. Some of their cards autoconfigure nicely, others you need to use their software to configure. My linksys 10/100 card popped in and was recognized as a Tulip card. Have zero problems. I originally had to download the driver from Donald Becker's site.

Hi Jerry!

Ok. BTW: On Linux you can change virtually everything without the need for a reboot. I think you need to verify first that your 2 network cards are working. Then, that your crossover cable works. Most of the network cards I have used recently are Linksys or Netgear. You also need to make sure that you have the correct drivers set up for the network cards. In the past, I've had some interesting experiences with some of the 3Com cards.
I have been using SuSe since 6.0. I hardly ever reboot, the only reboots around here are caused by power outages :) Console 10 does show the 3Com ethernet card as being in AIU (AUI) mode which I believe is RJ45. I had to make a freedos floppy copy the dos utils over and boot into freedos to sort any settings out :)
