The rest is the same. I see "3com 3C575" listed on the page of compatible hardware. Is my card so dissimilar that it should not be expected to work (and should it really halt the entire boot process)? -- Tom Lieber http://AllTom.com/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I also have a 3com 3C589C which also works but again at 10Mbps at best. I find this is fast enough for my purposes on the laptop. I don't need the 3C589C so if you want it just let me know and I'll send it along.
