It is just not there. I do not understand why. When I tried 3.5.1 it was available for adjustment, and then it work fine when I set it to IRQ 10 and port 0x250. 4.3 thought it was 5 and 0x210 respectively > there's a 3com config program for dos available on the 3com site, so > you can change the eeprom settings using a dos boot floppy. if you set > the iobase to 0x200 and the irq to 10 here, the kernel should > autodetect it since these are the defauts The 3COM program solved my problem. After turning of "plugg and play" and setting what 4.3 expected (0x210 and 5, respectively) it works as it should. Thanks for help.
