Hey,
I just installed Fedora, I am a complete newbie. My 3Com Etherlink III doesn't work. I cannot get on to the internet. Where can I find drivers?? It is the one preinstalled with a compaq deskpro.

Thanksb

it would be very helpful if you post the output of "lspci" as root.

I'm very sorry, I dont know anything about linux. Could you please tell me how to do that?

Thanks

you are lucky today. i am not buzy right now. yes i would. but can we talk through aim or yahoo mesenger. i am just trying to save sometime.

my yahoo sn is kurt8810. what would a good time be for you? I am in central time. anytime would work for me.

thanks

oh and I almost forgot, what is your yahoo sn?

i don't use yahoo messenger.
so i am signing up right now.
i am in texas, so i will get to you ASAP

Thanks, but... I got somebody else to fix it...

Thanks Again

that's great then.

Hi tricky_linux, I have a similar question ...
When I saw the post, I was hopeful there was an answer, but you went the im route.
I have an etherlink III (isa) nic that is not detected by fc2 (installed card after fc2 was installed... so don't know if anaconca would have picked up).
The card itself shows lights (promising) but neither lspci nor ifconfig show that the card exists. kudzu reports nothing as well.
I'm a total, total linux newbie and want to be able to use this old card.
Anything you can offer would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks.

what i heard from kurtucky is you need another isa driver in order to get your card working.
i will ask him how did he get it working as soon as i can.

also, please post "dmesg |tail" as you execte "modprobe 3c509".
all above command are to be executed as root.

if there is nothing new, then you can try disable "PnP" or "Plug and Play" feature in your BIOS and see what fc2 says
