During kernel configuration, I removed the other network drivers and made sure the parameters were correct for the card. I chose to download the software from your FTP site, and when I get the options for which interface I'm doing to d/l over, I only get the parallel port, SLIP, or PPP. Should I be able to choose the 3COM PCMCIA card to do a network install? Or are the proper services for such a device not loaded off this single floppy? Let me know how I can make it work, if at all possible. ------------------------------------- Edward Baichtal edwardb@AirLink.com http://www.airlink.com
