Hello folks.

I've upgraded from 2.1-R and am now running 2.2-960612-SNAP on my TP701
and I'm trying to install my 3c589B card using the PAO package.  Catch is 
I'm getting pretty frustrated trying to get it to work.

*	I've played with the pccard.conf files but I've been unable to set the
	ether line correctly for the Etherlink III.  It seems that no
	matter what I do the machine complains about an invalid MAC. 

*	Is the Etherlink III ep0 or nep0?  The web page says nep0, the
	docs say ep0.

*	I'm using the completely kosher pccard.conf file from the 
	distribution(could this be my problem) and the error I get when
	I start pccardd is as follows(I'm typing this in by hand so I'm 
	going to leave out the date on the left hand side)
	
	mem=d0000
	Card "3Com Corporation" ("3C589") matched "3Com Corporation" ("3C589")
	Using I/O addr 0x300, size 16
	Setting config reg at offs 0x10000 to 0x41
	Reset time = 100 ms
	Assigning I/O window 0, start 0x300, size 0x10 flags 0x7
	Assign nep0, io 0x300 mem 0x0, 9 bytes irq 10, flags 10
	3Com Corporation: Device not configured
	driver allocation failed for 3Com Corporation

Now it does this with both nep0 and ep0.  In addition, IRQ10 is 
definitely free.

Anyone got any hints for me, or if anyone is running a 3com card, could 
you mail me the pccard.conf and sysconfig that you're using?

Thanks!
Ben.
