what i do: download the kernel source from ftp.kernel.org
download the 3com driver from www.3com.com inside the 3com driver is a kernel patch , i believe its called path-2.2.5 or something, it works fine up to 2.2.16(what im using). patch the kernel by copying the file to the source tree (usually /usr/src/linux) and run patch -p0 <patch-2.2.5 then configure the kernel you want to turn on support for: 3c90x/3c980 B/C series "Cyclone/Hurricane/Tornado" support it is located under network devices| ethernet(10 or 100mbit) compile the kernel(make sure to configure the rest of it) and install it & reboot. if you need more help with kernel stuff let me know or i can send you a binary module for 2.2.16 if your using 2.2.16 nate then configure the kernel On Thu, 27 Jul 2000, Raphael Crawford-Marks wrote: raphae >I've installed Potato on a machine with a 3c905c-TXM PCI card.
