I just replaced a flakey Intel gigabit nic with a BCM5700-based 3Com nic,
thinking that would work better. Silly me. It seems there's a nasty
interaction between the chipset and the nic, which 3Com solved with a
driver release. From the Tyan site:
# Why can't I browse Network Neighborhood with my 3Com 3C996 Gigabit
Ethernet Adapter?
This is a driver issue with the 3c996 Gigabit Ethernet card and the
AMD chipset. 3Com has released drivers to resolve this issue. The
drivers are dated 12-18-01 & can be downloaded from [...]
So does anyone know the details of this interaction. Might there be a fix
anywhere? Or should I just bite the bullet and get a newer Intel board?
