Hi
You can also tweak 3x509 settings using 3c5x9setup program that comes with Suse (section Net, package Netdiag).

I bought a new batch of hardware. ASUS A7V AMD Athlon 900Mhz processor 2 128M PC133 mem chips SB Live PCI IBM 45gig HD ATI Rage XPERT 2000 AGP 32meg video 3COM 3c905B-TX PCI nic <p>The motherboard needed to have IRQ's assigned on the given slots for the NIC and the SB to work (I used 10 & 5 respectively). This means turning off Plug & Play as well. Then I went in under a DOS boot-up via a floppy, and ran the 3COM setup application for the NIC. I set it up with IRQ I had set in the BIOS for that slot. Then I loaded up 7.0 Professional and YaST2 picked up everything fine. YaST configured my system so all boots up without a hitch. I edited /etc/rc.d/boot.local and added /usr/local/sbin/sshd to get ssh started up automatically. Then changed .xinitrc to add xscreensaver. Very nice workstation as I have a AHA2940UW and a 40X SCSI-3 UW Plextor CD-ROM in it and I hope to get a nice Plextor SCSI CD-R as well. Then add a cheap ATAPI DVD for SuSE installs, (and a few videos :) Best Regards /Dee <p>-----Original Message----- From: Michael Long [mailto:michael.long@erols.com] Sent: Monday, December 04, 2000 11:12 AM To: Jyry Kuukkanen Cc: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] 3com 3c509b NIC - Chap 2 <p>Thanks to everyone who responded to my plea for help. My problem turned out to be caused by a conflict in my shared ISA/PCI slot. After installing a Realtek 8139 pci card it was immediatly recognized. Now on to configuration issues. Does anyone know why it is would be necessary to run YAST2 to configure a network card after every reboot? It was my understanding that YAST2 would write the settings to the startup scripts so that the network would start everytime. On Wed, 29 Nov 2000, Jyry Kuukkanen wrote: properly.
When in dos the standard 3com driver gives a divide by 0 error which 3com says can happen on faster machines. They offer an unsupported driver for such machines.
Download unsupported driver Do: 3c5x9 configure /pnp:disable Result: LSL not loaded

Hi,
For a 3Com 3c509b ( as stated in the subject ) you would first of all ( before trying to use the card ) have to do the following:
1) Aqquire the program 3c5x9cfg.exe from ftp.3com.com ( or www ) 2) Copy the program to a DOS formatted floppy 3) Boot the machine into DOS 4) Start the program
got a divide by 0 overflow error
5) Select configure card. If you have Plug-and-Play set to on, I recommend setting it to off, save the settings and goto step 3 6) Set the card to a fixed IRQ/IO ( I usually use IRQ 5,9,10 or 12 depending on what hardware is availble, and IO 0x320 or 0x360 ) 7) Save the settings to the card 8) Start Linux, ( single user mode would be fine ) and try: modprobe 3c509 if it doesn't complain, and if you can use ifconfig eth0 ( or eth1.. ) then it did the trick :-)
modprobe found the card did: ifconfig eth1 192.168.100.1 broadcast 192.168.100.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 response: SCIOSCIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable
lsmod shows: 3c509 5964 0 (unused)
Happy hacking.

This is a second card being installed in the machine. When I run yast2 it finds the first card but not the 3com. I can go to yast and configure eth0 and eth1 but eth1 (the 3com) is never activated. Are there any error logs that would record what is happening?
