Unfortunately, that was one of the things I had tried (but I tried it again :). Giving the above ifconfig command just results in: ifconfig: SIOCGIFMEDIA: Invalid argument I also noted that when just doing an 'ifconfig ep0' to see the status, it does NOT list supported media types the way other cards, which support the media argument, do. Thus I'm guessing that the driver for the '574 just doesn't support 'media'. So am I just out of luck with this card (on 10Mb networks)? Anyone else have any experience with this 3com card?
