No driver for the Thunderlan Ethernet controller on the 2.2.7 boot disks when I installed this - I ended up using an Intel NIC for the installation. Once installed you can make a kernel with the tl driver. However, checking the HARDWARE.TXT from a recent (2.2.7-19981103-SNAP) 2.2.7 SNAP, the tl driver seems to be included on the installation disks now. The SCSI controller on the 3000 is NCR/Symbios 53c876 based - it appears as two 53c875 controllers. Supported by the ncr driver. I had trouble installing a prerelase of 3.0 on this system - no PCI Ethernet card or SCSI controller was detected. I'm going to make another attempt at 3.0 in a few days. Not sure about the details for the 2500 though.
