To reply to my last post: no joy. I tried no kernel config,
just selected irq3 and the Default card addr of 0x0000.
The installation floppies recognized the card and said it
was initializing things, but same results: I would up
with only slip and ppp choices.
I tried the full-screen intall option next. Xircon ("xe")
was't among the drivers in the Network list. Is there a
way of installing the xe driver from floppy?
Or... ?
thanks,
gary
