Greeetings from CT, USA. I am attempting to configure a new server; Pentium II 266 w/ 64 MB RAM, adaptec SCSI and 3COM 3c905BTX (Cyclone) NIC. Everything is working fine *except* the network interface card. The driver appears to load properly; ie. reports all the NIC info such as irq, i/o base, MAC address, etc. but the card appears to be "dead". Activity light won't flash and pings don't seem to make it onto the wire. An "arp -a" shows no entries. I've used the 3COM setup disk to run most of the card diagnostics and they all pass. I've also tried disabling full/half duplex auto-detect. There are no options set in /etc/conf.modules for this particular card. Any ideas ???

Thanks in advance,

Try to get the latest drivers for your card from <A HREF="http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/"><A HREF="http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/</A">http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/. BTW, the site also carries hints for the various NICs. HTH Arun Khan -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
