    Hello,

    Please keep the list in the loop.
    Hold on there! I didn't say to run 2.2.2. It was nice back in the day,
    but if you were to run it now, the Huns would sack your village. What I
    meant to communicate is you should use the 3Com software to configure
    the NIC manually and then enter that configuration - if needed - when
    setting up your interface.

    HTH (by being more clear),

    Stheg

    P.S. Another poster asked why do you think your NIC doesn't work. That
    is a good question. What output do you get from ifconfig -a ?
