A new install of Caldera 1.3 identifies my 3c509 card properly, but on
boot, I see that the driver is binding to the BNC port on the NIC,
when I need it to use the TP port. Where can I change the necessary
parameter?

Boot your machine off a plain DOS diskette (No need for config.sys
etc)
Run the 3c5x9cfg.exe program off you etherdisk diskette.
If you want to save a copy of the configuration file onto a DOS
floppy.
Reboot machine, try again. I would advise against using any kind
of plug and play on this card, this also applies to automatic media
type detection.

1. Q: Linksys LNE10/100TX NIC with 82c169 problems: Wrong media type?
Hi there,
my Linksys 10/100 card is recognized by release 4.0, but a ping to my
gateway fails. A ping to localhost and my own IP address works fine. It's
probably a misconfigured route but I suspect that my media type is wrong as
ifconfig shows "no carrier".
Here's what dmesg says concerning the NIC, ifconfig dc0 and my uname -a
output:
