Hi,

Has anyone had any success configuring a 3Com Etherlink III NIC?

I've been running UserConfig with no success.  I go to the network section, delete all drivers except the 3Com Etherlink III entry, set the I/O port to 0x320 and IRQ 10 (just like on my NT partition) and leave the other settings at default.  When I boot, I get "zd0 failed to load at 0x320" or some such message.

When I run /stand/sysinstall and try to configure the network, no NIC is listed, just COM and LPT devices.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Walter Nirenberg
