More info?)
Well actually, I can't answer that one. I had the MB and new card installed
at a local shop. Device manager shows a driver for the 3com card as
Microsoft v4.5.0.0, so it would seem that it is the generic windows driver.
Does the problem sound like a driver issue? I'm going to attack this thing
this weekend. I'll check for 3Com drivers.
