Hi all,

    I am trying to get a 3c900B TPO card to work, I am getting strang =
SIOCsomething errors so I decided to use the 3c5x9.c diagnostic program =
to investiage.

    Windows 98 reports the IO address on the card to be 1080-10FF.

    When i run "3c5x9 -p 1080" I receive an error about the input
    If i run "3c5x9" , it defaults the io to 0x300 and fails to find the =
card
    If i run "3c5x9 -p 380" as a test the program doesn't error as in =
1), and obviously doesn't find the card.


    Can anyone point me in the right direction, should I try and move =
the network io from windows to a range near 0x300 ?
    Or is there a way to get Linux and/or the diag program to work with =
the card at its current io ?

Thanks for any help.
