[Sam Hopkins]

Heya gang,

I'm mid-install on an ibm tp 600e standalone and I'm having
difficulty getting the pcmcia elnk3 3C589D-TP to work.  I have
a link light and the bootup recognizes it fine, but no dice on dist
download or any other network activity.

Any suggs?

Sam

Regarding elnk3, about one month ago, I send a note to confirm 
that 3C-SOHO was working well provided its ID was put within the driver.

I was obliged to downgrade to a more regular version of that card in order
to have the File Server working.

Here was the diff of the R3 original elnk3 and R3 patched elnk3 :

Also, we don't do autodetect on the media type.
If the
	#l0: ...
line printed at boot up doesn't say 10baseT, try adding
	media=10baseT
to the
	ether0=type=3C589 ...
line in a:\plan9.ini.

Alternately, you can download the archive to a DOS partition
and point the install there, and then debug the problem
once you are up and running.

Can you send me a trace of the kernel output?
