I do not know if they changed the card recently, but I have about 25 of those cards right now that don't work for beans. They ifconfig fine (under Linux, BSD, and 95), and everthing thinks they are fine, including the 3Com diagnostic software. But none of them will ping. I get no activity on the cards or on the hubs. We are dropping theses from our pricelist, and will be be replacing them w/ Etherexpress Pros. > heh, be careful when you buy Dell folks :) Wasn't there some Dell/3Com fiasco that resulted in speculations about market share and profit that took down both their stock prices?
