If you don;t have the original setup disks, take a look at this link, pick your card, go to Documentation, Quick Guide, then Pre-install. Somewhere at the bottom of the page you can download the floppies (I don't recall which one, but I think it's disk1) and then you have to extract PREINSTALL.EXE.

We quit using these cards just for this reason. When you're assembling a bunch of systems it became a real
PITA and bottleneck.

Bob,
I have a Fedora computer with two 3Com NIC's in it. Both are recognized and configured and the interfaces come up... but one works and the other does not ("works" being defined as providing actual connectivity via ping, mtr, etc.) Since the non-functional interface is the WAN side and I'm currently out of the office, I cannot say right now whether they are 3C509 (10 Mbps) or 3C905 (10/100 Mbps) models.
Is it possible or likely that this could be the same problem? I have of course checked firewall rules, routing tables, etc. and everything /APPEARS/ to be set up properly. But no joy... no joy...
TIA!
