I have a laptop port replicator that has a 3c920 ( so the docs says ) in 
it. The RH linux 8.0 does not recognize the ethernet device ( it does 
recognize the scsi device in the port replicator ( to quell the bridge 
not working issues )

THere is no mention of the 3c920 at the (normal) 3com site. It may be at 
the OEM/plz login site.

trying to install the 3c59x module gets

	[root@LaptopServer gat]# /sbin/insmod 3c59x
	Using /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/net/3c59x.o
	/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/net/3c59x.o: init_module: 		No 
such device
	Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, 
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
       		You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
	[root@LaptopServer gat]#

SHould I be trying to build using 3com's 3c90x module? It is suggested 
that the 3c59x driver is just as good as the 3c90x driver.
