Firstly thank you for your assistance.
My freind configured a PCI bus using dedicated utility and now while
system boots I get message:
vx0 <3Com 3c590 EtherLink III PCI> rev 0 int a irq 5 on pci0:7
aui/bnc/utp [*UTP*] address ...
It seems OK and even issuing ifconfig command system reports that
the interface vx0 is configured properly, but no network connection at
all and even when I issue any command regarding network operation the system
hangs until I terminate that process.
The network cable is attached to the BNC connector however the adapter
driver reports that a network media is the UTP. We supposed that
something's wrong with adapter. The appropriate driver under MSDOS reports
correct media type, so adapter works just fine.
Is this driver's problem?
How could we fix it?
Thank you in advance,
