Towards the end of booting, i see a pci0:11: vendor=0x10b7, device=0x5900, class=network (ethernet) [no driver assigned] It later says that the VGA card is at pci0:12, irq 11, which leads me to believe that the message above indeed refers to the PCI ethernet card that Win95 identifies as "3Com Etherlink III Bus-Master PCI Ethernet Adaptor" and locates at IRQ 10, at 0x300. If i look in LINT, it says # The `vx' device provides support for the 3Com 3C590 and 3C595 # early support controller pci0 device vx0 However, when i scroll back, i see no vx0 tested by the boot.flp kernel. I was toying with the idea of building a custom kernel that included vx0 and replacing boot.flp's kernel with the new one, but i decided that before doing anything "cleverly stupid", i'd ask here first. please reply directly to me, thanks a bunch rone
