i'm completely new to all this, i've installed Stormix's latest version of Linux...
on a p166 50 megs ram and a 1gig harddrive..
i've just added an old 3com isa card... can someone tell me where i would go to get the OS to detect the card? or to manually config it???

Thx

Hello! Could you tell us the exact model of the 3com card? Once you know the model, we can easily assist you. I dunno how many different models there are, and you have to load a "module" (driver) for it.

Windows for play and Linux for work.
