I know these are old cards, and i doubt there are many of them out there, so I
don't expect there to be any, but i can hope... Are there any problems with
the fact that an old xt card can only dma to the bottom 1mb of memory? Can the
drivers for later 3com cards be modified ot would this be very non trivial?
(I get my linux box this weekend (fingers crossed) and would like a little
network at home) I am prepared to attempt the required hack, but have no
experience with driver hacking, or any info on the card. I can learn, I guess...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
