I've trawled for posts on this and have found plenty : mentioning how easy it was to get the ISA version working, but have : had no solid confirmations that the PCI one will work. There have : been mumblings of incompatibilities with some motherboards, talk of : support coming soon but nothing definite. Has anyone set one up, or : managed to get one working ? I've *NEVER* had a report of 3com wavelan cards working with the wi driver, although they have a PRISM II chipset. PCI has nothing to do with that. :-) Also, for PCI to work, (the BIOS *MUST* route an interrupt or the routing BIOS must be able to do it) and you can't, on some motherboards, put the card behind a bridge, since the PCI interrupt bridge swizzle isn't implemented on -stable.
