Someone previously mentioned their system reported something about not finding the EEPROM on a 3c509 during boot. Well, it happened to me and I can at least give some symptoms. 1. I booted from the 4.0R CD and entered the visual config. I disabled everything in storage except the floppy (I run a Adaptec 2940UW) and anything else that I didn't need. Continued on and the card came up just fine. 2. I rebooted from the 4.0R CD and left the config default and kept booting and then the ep driver reported no EEPROM and a NIC address of all 00 The card has been configed with 3c5x9cfg to have PNP disabled and an IRQ of 10 and IO of 0x300. I hope this can help somebody.
