(3c509) please verify the i/o address of the card and its irq. make sure that the card does not conflict with any other devices. the at the boot> prompt enter "-c". the machine will boot and let you edit the device configurations before the boot process finishes. at the config> prompt type "visual". this will give your a full-screen editor. change the settings for the "ep0" device to match the i/o address adn irq of your 3c509. if you are using the UTP connector on the card, you will need to add "-link2" to the ifconfig command in /etc/sysconfig. here's what i use network_interfaces="ep0 lo0" ifconfig_ep0="inet 198.35.166.171 link2 netmask 255.255.255.192" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
