I run through the PAO install disk, and when it gets to : the nic part, it finds the card as a Linksys Ethercard Combo, but : says it is unsupported, and then aborts. Anybody have any idea what : to try next? I had problems with the Linksys ethernet card that I purchased. The combo part may give you fits, as they generally aren't supported. The problem that I ran into with the linksys ethernet card (not the combo one) was that it relied on the 12V line, which the libretto doesn't have (at least that's what tech support told me). I wound up with a 3c589d, and haven't had many problems with it, certainly not enough to complain.
