What *is* listed in the Handbook is: 3Com Etherlink XL-based NICs ( xl(4) driver) 3C900/905/905B/905C PCI 3C556/556B MiniPCI 3C450-TX HomeConnect adapter 3c980/3c980B Fast Etherlink XL server adapter 3cSOHO100-TX OfficeConnect adapter <-- WHERE I WENT WRONG>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dell Optiplex GX1 on-board 3C918 Dell On-board 3C920 Dell Precision on-board 3C905B Dell Latitude laptop docking station embedded 3C905-TX In looking man xl(4) though, 3cSOHO100-TX OfficeConnect isn't even mentioned, far less for 3CSOHO100B-TX. So it appears that I've not done my homework on this one :-( > I've never done this... but one option would be to edit if_xlreg.h and *add* > support for your card and recompile and install the new kernel. Man.., I'd like to get this working.., but I'm not sure about editing those files - not a programmer, you see.

Thanks for that info., Get back to me with what I asked, if you can. I'll go look around the 3COM site for more info myself.
