The driver for the 3com card has been known to be buggy for a long time. I myself have not been able to get it to work and I'm not sure of anyone else who has. If there is someone on the list who figured out a way around it then please let us know. Try swapping out the card with a different type of card, preferably Linksys or Intel and see if it works that way. --Damon -----Original Message----- From: John Morgan Salomon <john@CSUA.Berkeley.EDU> To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Date: Wednesday, December 23, 1998 8:15 AM Subject: Problems with 3C509 card > >Hiya > >I am setting up an HP Vectra with a 3Com 509 network card. > >Interestingly enough, the system finds the card nicely and installs >per ftp just as it should.
