I have already gotten it to work with an SMC ethernet card, but I need the 3Com as well. I read through the FAQs sent with the CD ROM and they mention that a driver might someday be available for the 3Com. Is this driver available now? If it is, where would I get it (hopefully FTP site) and and how would I install it (I don't know much about Kernel modifications)? When I installed the SMC ethernet card, I just plugged it in with the correct jumper settings and it worked. Thanks for your assistance and for a great UNIX system!! Jay O'Brien occgrp@aol.com
