Install 3c905 Lan Card on Linux 8

If memory serves, this is an ISA PnP card.

IF THIS IS INCORRECT PLEASE IGNORE THE REST OF THIS POST, SORRY

This card has a dos configuration utility that use must use to set it up. The files may be downloaded from the link below. They require a dos boot floppy, put the dos diagnostics on it. Boot the pc using the floppy, run the dos config program. DISABLE PnP and manually set the parameters for the card.

Reboot into linux, goto your network configuration setup and manually select the 3c905 drivers.

HIH

look for the linux driver module on 3com website: 3c90x-102.tar.gz. This is what i used on RH7.3, i'm not sure if 3com updated it for RH8, tho'.

And you have to install gcc also 'coz the .gz package do not include the .o file, only source code.Good Readme inside.

cheers.
