If so, : please tell me the kernel revision and the things I have to do to get it : working. It seems that the dang ethernet light won't turn on within the : hub, :(. Thanks.... I did. For the older kernels, 2.0 + SNAPS. You need to give a switch to turn on the 10BT port... Now what was that option... Elbereth? No. XYZZY? No. Gosh darn you'll have to look at the FAQs, or up to 2.0.5. Oh, if you got the option then make sure the IRQ and IO are compiled correctly into the kernel and that damn PnP option is turned off on the card EEPROM (the 3com disk hopefully is still around).
