Have installed slakware 3.0 using the 1.2.13 kernel. I can't seem to get the kernel to recognize my 3COM card (3c509) at the boot. When I try to ping anything other than 127.0.0.1, I get "network unreachable" response. Just for grins, I built the networking boot disk and played like I was going to install across a network. The 3COM card was recognized during the boot without extra parameters being added at the boot prompt. In fact, using this method, I could ping any of the network hosts using their dot quad addresses. I tried to use the append command in the /etc/lilo.conf file, re-ran lilo, but still wasn't recognized at boot. Can I add more info to the append command in the lilo.conf file like: append="aha152x=11,0x340,0,1 ether=10,0x280,0,1,eth0" I have done so, and the machine still boots OK, but the card isn't recognized. When I add a separate append statement to handle the 3c09 , the system complains of too many append statements. It appears that either 3COM spt was not built into the kernel, or my commands are wrong. I know the card is functional. HELP!!!!!! Jim Patterson
