Ethernet Card

[Sean McMahon]

If your machine gets its address from a dhcp server, what are the other modules
you have to load or compile built-in to the kernel.  I ask because a few times I
included network support, dhcp support, support for my card and ifconfig still
didn't get a dhcp address.

3c505...iirc that's an extremely old isa 10mbps non pnp nic. If that's
in fact the card the 3c59x module doesn't handle that. the module you
want to load is 3c505.
