3c905 nic

[Jeremy R Schmidt]

Hello everyone.

I have a 3com 3c905 network card, and it will not work with Fedora core 2.
I can use it while doing a telnet install, it is recognized by linux, but is not assigned a dhcp address by my router after linux is installed.
I have tried adding acpi=off in the grub configuration with no success. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Sounds like a configuration issue to me. I've been using one of those
cards for years, including today with Fedora 2.

What does lsmod show?

What's in your /etc/modprobe.conf?

What does

ifconfig eth0

show? Particularly the second line?
