To change the card settings you HAVE to run 3c5x9cfg 2. 3c5x9cfg shipped on the driver disk (in it's root directory) and can only be run from DOS. A DOS boot floppy will do. 3. Once you get 3c5x9cfg running, configure the card for the desired settings, port 0x300, int (whatever, I used 5) and change the ep settings in the kernel config file to reflect that change. YOU MUST ALSO DISABLE PLUG AND PLAY IF THIS CARD HAS IT!!! If you don't have the driver disk, it's available from http://www.3com.com and wander around support for a bit and look for the 3c5x9 driver disk. It's a self extracting archive that, again, has to be run from DOS and will extract the install floppy's directory tree, not a disk image, at least that's what it did a couple of months ago.
