Ah yes, I meant to follow up on this... I too gave up on mine. The patches I got from you made it get at least a little further... it found the first memory block, the IO space, and an IRQ, then locked the machine up *hard* trying to attach the device. It made it as far as the last ioctl call in cardd.c, which never returned. I'm trying to remember if I ever made it panic, or just freeze. I think freezing only. I gave up and (still being a cheapskate) bought a Linksys card, which worked perfectly almost immediately. (I couldn't quite afford a 3com card at the time.) Anyone who has more time to hack on these things want my card? It's way too late for me to return mine to the store I bought it from -- it's been years. It wasn't much fun to get going under DOS or Win95 either, but it can at least be done there. It's rumored to work on Linux, though I haven't actually tried...
