There was no GenMAC 2.00 - as we have it today - in 2004. The current list of supported 10B7 (3Com manufactured) devices for GenMAC 2.00 (from the docs) is: 3Com 3C90xC PCI [10B7:9200] 3Com/SKNet Gigabit [10B7:1700] Do you have a wrapper directory under genmac\driver entitled WRAPPER_10B7_6056? That's where the current GenMAC builds would put the Windows files. > Who do I need to contact to find out why it got dropped - that VOICE > announcement seems clear enough - and can we get it back given I have a > set of the latest win drivers now. > > I would send a note to the GenMAC support list: genmac-user@netlabs.org with the PCI ID and the Winbdows INF and SYS files. If the card is working as it should under Windows, then the duplex issue is not a factor, and it is indeed properly handling the auto negotiation (which is a good thing). In that case, an update to GenMAC to support the current Windows driver should do the trick (assuming the problem is at the driver level, at least). -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
