maybe this sounds really weird.... but i haven't used any 3com install utility.
that is why i was amazed at this OS.
the installation floppy had that kernel configuration screen and i
simply specified the 3com pcmica card (keeping its default settings )
... and deleted the other options (ie. network cards) that were
conflicting.
after installation of FreeBSD, i put the card in and it worked.
i don't have windoze running on the same machine...
i'm not clued into hardware but will gladly help if possible.
though i am unsure which settings you need ....
if you can specify what you need and where i'll find it, i'll be up for
the next 4 hours.
in the meantime, this is what ifconfig -af gave :
zp0: flags=1863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,LINK0> mtu 1500
inet 202.184.153.19 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 202.184.153.255
ether 00:a0:24:ac:13:e7
pretty sure that doesn't help at all though. (sorry i'm useless.... i'm actually
the multimedia programmer... hence the ridiculous hours doing 2 peoples' jobs )
