It also had the 3COM 509 Combo card installed (the one with the three connectors). I had no problems so far, the machine acts as a server. The performance of the 3COM in our Sun network was blindly fast. I got ftp rates over 1000 KB/sec !!! I didn't expect that, because the kernel config file told me, that the 3COM driver should be buggy ... Maby this is an old statement ??? Machine configuration: Peacock Pentium 90, 32 MB Ram, AHA 2940, 2 Winner 2000 X/Pro (no X11 X Server support yet for S3 968 Chip yet *sigh* ;-). The card was jumpered on IRQ 10. I had to build a custom kernel where I removed all other cards an inserted the correct IRQ value, otherwise the card wasn't detected.
