So (to all that replied) you guys are saying
tulip is the way to go and I have a bad card....
Works fine on the Mac side......hmm....
I have a 3C509 10/100 (for PC) I could use, and it's
my card of choice anyway....It just didn't occur to me
to use a PC card in a Mac. I guess PCI is PCI.....thoughts any ?
Maybe I'm builing wrong....I have been adding tulip and tulip_old
as modules is menuconfig and the box just won't see the card...
Thanks so much for the advice all...the fact that it (tulip)
works for you(s) guys tells me a great deal.
