No network access with FC1

[Michael Colef]

Hi Vernon,
There has been quite a bit of talk on this mail list about the 3Com 
3c905 cards. They do not seem to work well under FC1. I had the same 
problem. Get yourself a chip card like Linksys ethernet card. Install 
the card and when you first boot after the installation of the card, 
disable the NIC in the BIOS of your computer. Kudzu should pick up your 
new card and ask you to configure it. You will be amaized how fast you 
will connect to the Internet.

Take care,
Michael
