Its an FA311. 5 quid at the computer fair in East Croydon this morning
:) I suspect it is hosed. I get a link light when I plug in the cable,
and on the switch, but ifconfig always shows (none). Even if I set the
speed/duplex specifically. One other odd thing is that it didn't see it
all in another PCI slot. The machine is an ancient Pentium-75 with a mix
of ISA and PCI slots (machine was only 20 quid :):). There is a 3com ISA
card on IRQ10/300 which is working fine on the same ethernet cable/switch
port. There is also a PCI video card. No other cards. Had a look
through the BIOS for PCI slot settings - they are all the same and at
defaults...
