Hello,
The ep driver in 4.0 works fine, but is very sensitive to card probing from other device
drivers, so be sure to disable all other devices which could use the same I/O ports
as the 3c509 (I had the same prob with an older version of 4.0 current, caused by a
"lnc" probe : the lnc is on the PCI bus, but the driver also probes on the ISA bus -
as it was also with an HP machine, this could be your solution).
TfH
PS : be sure to set all configuration parameters with 3com's utility before using
a 3c509 (one would not work until I forced the "UTP" port)

Subject: 3.4 -> 4.0 upgreade = lockup
As an experiment I tried to upgrade a spare machien that I had 3.4
Stable on to 4.0 The machine in question is an HP Vectra 486/66.
All seemd to go well untill the final reboot. Now it jangs (hard lockup
no response to keyboard input) on reboot.
The last thing it prints is "doing network setup hostname" This is
followed by a cr/lf, and it hangs there. If I cycle power it is able to
fsck the disk and return to this point where it locks up again.
The network card is a 3C509 (ep driver) in an ISA slot. I can simply
load 4.0 on this machien to resolve the problem wiht it, but I have a
couple of other amchines that I would much rather upgared than
re-install.
Any debuging sugestions?
