: Hello,

:
: 1) Is the 3Com 3CXFE575CT supported by the drivers supplied in the boot floppies?
No.
: 2) If not, how can I add the drivers I need to the boot process so my card

You can't.
: I checked the archives, but mabye I'm just not finding what I need. Any help
: or links would be greatly appreciated!
The 575 is a CardBus card. For that, you must have -current. There's
no -stable MFC planned at this time. Too many other things would need
to be mfc'd and I don't have the time to deal :-(.
