Greetings: I made the, probable, mistake of buying a 3Com 3C900B-TPC PCI BNC NIC discovering that the module automatically installed by Slackware 9.0, 2.4.20 - 3c59x.o - does not ping.. Checking the Web I find that 3c59x.o is for the 3C900 (no suffix) models and that I may need 3c90x.o instead..
Downloaded the source for that but it wont compile under Slack9.0.. An attempt to -f (force) using a pre-compiled version didn't work either..
I may be stuck but was wondering if someone may have run into this and solved the problem, and/or has a module compiled for 2.4.20..
Rather than go into further details of what I did, suffice it to say that I swapped a RealTec NIC into the same PCI slot, and it worked perfectly with the ifconfig and route add entries, so I must presume the cables, etc are OK.. dmesg listed the 3Com NIC, with the same IRQ# and Port# that were assigned to the RealTec NIC..
Appreciate and TIA.
