adding 3 com network adapter to RH 8.0

Sun Feb 20 16:19:00 UTC 2005

Hi!

I have 3 network adapter in my RH 8.0 .

Kudzu , the plug & play utility , was able to discover two of them .

It succesffuly discovered the onboard VIA -RHINE one , and the old Real tek
one .

Hence my VIA -RHINE one is eth0 and the old real tek one is eth1 .

But it could not discover my third 3 com one .

The lspci does show the 3 com card and so does cat /proc/pci .

Hence , how do I make that third 3 com card usable when lspci & cat
/proc/pci does show the card but kudzu does not install it .

Thank you for your help in advance .

Cheers,
bj

The lspci result is as ffs :-
