3COM Network Card Installation
Could someone give me or send me a link of directions on how to install 3COM network card? I know the module that I need is 3c59x, but what files do I add this to. I currently have a NetGear FA311 card setup as eth0, I would like the 3COM card setup as eth1.

I assume you are on slackware 8.1. First see if you already have a module available for it:
install the card insmod 3c59x if it works, you can configure your card with ifconfig. If it doesnt, you need to rebuild your kernel. eeek! or rather, build a module for your running kernel. post back if the above does not work. |
I've installed the card already and insmod/modprobe'd the card. When I do a "lsmod" it shows the module loaded but unused. If I do a "ifconfig" it only shows device "eth0"(netgear), but not "eth1" (which would be the 3com card) also.

Well, I dont think it will show up unless you put it 'up'. Try this:
ifconfig eth1 192.168.10.2 broadcast 192.168.10.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 up |
