I have this Socket 5 machine, and I'm trying to get network cards to work in it.
So far I've tried a D-Link card and a 3C905TX. Both of the cards' drivers claim that the cards are "not installed" or "not present", but I know for a fact that yes, they are installed. I checked the BIOS PCI settings, but the only option there that was of any consequence was the triggering (set to level).
I can enter the 3Com card's BIOS after the machine POSTs, so I know it's working.
I also ran two hardware info programs, and they both could see the card and told me exactly what the bus, dev, irq, etc. settings were (thus I know that the card is indeed present and working). I set those manually in NET.CFG, but still no dice.
What am I doing wrong? I could post screenshots of the BIOS and the driver output if needed.
