Re: Vortex NIC problem

[grant]

I have the same nic @ home on my GNU/Hurd machine running fine with the stock 
gnumach-1.2 kernel. I haven't gotten oskit-mach yet.  Could you take a look 
at your boot message for some more detail. 

hurd# cat /dev/klog > boot-message &

You might have a irq problem which could be solved using the 3com firmware
utilities to modify the cards IRQ,IO address, etc. Or pull any devices your not 
going to use.

Thanks
