I installed 2.1r3 into an office PC with an AT1700 10Base-FL nic. After I added "io=0x300 irq=5" to the command line, the supplied 1700 driver installed using the install drivers menu and later the ifconfig command properly identified the adapters hardware address. BUT I get a SIOCADDRT warning about not finding a network during boot and ping does not cause any activity on the card's tx LED. The AT1700 driver message during boot reports the card in 10Base-2 mode (It only has 10Base-T & FL). I have searched for alternate drivers - found nothing. The NT & Win95 systems that share the box have no problem talking to the Novell hybrid system. I am definitely a newbe and could use any suggestions.
