Please note that this is different from what the original poster asked. The initial question was about using 3c90x driver (from 3Com) while you are asking about different versions of 3c59x. > Is there Best Practise rules on the subject? Not that I know of. I don't try to promote one version of 3c59x over the other, but I certainly try to encourage people to not use the 3c90x driver, simply because those on this list are not able to help much when there are problems with 3c90x. 3c90x is valuable as comparison because it has a pretty different design WRT 3c59x. -- Bogdan Costescu IWR - Interdisziplinaeres Zentrum fuer Wissenschaftliches Rechnen Universitaet Heidelberg, INF 368, D-69120 Heidelberg, GERMANY Telephone: +49 6221 54 8869, Telefax: +49 6221 54 8868 E-mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ vortex mailing list [email protected] http://www.scyld.com/mailman/listinfo/vortex
