You'll need to make certain there isn't some minor revision code on the model number. My 3C589 card claims to be a "Megahertz 589E". I've got the following in my /etc/pccard.conf file: # 3Com Megahertz 3CCE589E* 10 Mbps LAN PC Card -SLF card "3Com" "Megahertz 589E" # orig: config 0x1 "ep0" 10 config 0x1 "ep0" 3 insert echo 3Com Megahertz Ethernet card inserted insert /etc/pccard_ether ep0 remove echo 3Com Megahertz Ethernet card removed remove /sbin/ifconfig ep0 delete I don't recall why I'd started using the second "config" line instead of the first. If I remember correctly, I'd booted Win98, checked the device configuration and found the 589 to be using IRQ 10, used it for a while, then the card stopped working, booted Win98 again, found the card was using IRQ 3, modified /etc/pccard.conf, and it's been happy ever since. -Scott
