I tried a different network card - 3c905-tx - with the 3c50x driver module. This doesn't work either. It does, however, spit out some kind of error message. Trouble is, I can't read it, because it appears on the blue screen behind the install dialog. Is there any way to read this? I can see

I lied. Well, I didn't look closely enough. It's a 3c905cx-txm. Anyway, I tried the 3c59x module first, actually, but it didn't work. Now I'm not even sure the 3com provided driver will work. I might just put in a different card... Still wouldn't mind knowing how the third-party module instal
