Nope. 3Com has a confusing naming policy, but the ``Etherlink II'' is a 3c503 actually, even though it's one of the later cards with a 16-bit bus in this case. The ``Etherlink III'' is the 3c509. Perhaps the wrong network interface (AUI/BNC)? You can select the AUI interface with the ``-link2'' option to ifconfig if i'm not mistaken. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
