Hi,

Could someone please confirm (or deny) that the latest SNAP supports the
3COM 3c509 etherlink III (ISA). If so, is it only supported if it is
taken out of plug and play mode, and will I need a DOS machine to do
this?

Many thanks,

Gary

As well (or as bad) as it used to be supported for quite a long time.
I had to assemble a router for a customer recently with two 3c509's,
and the cards seem to stumple every now and then when trying a
continuous multi-megabyte stream routing over it. However, they
unwedge themselves after a second. The overall TCP rate over both
cards was ~ 180 KB/s (that's not very much indeed).

I seem to remember that you gotta do this.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
