That'd be my[1] IBM T21. :-(
Plan9's 3com driver doesn't work with the "3Com 10/100 Mini PCI Ethernet
Adapter" that was supplied with it. It's not really a case of "internal
vs external" controller, both are internal mini-PCI cards, one works,
one doesn't.
If anyone can give me any hints on making it work, or how to debug a
network card driver, I'm all ears...
