Just installed RH 7.2 and everything went fine. It found my GF3, SBLive, ATA100, with no problems....except one. It did not find my 3com 3c900b? I checked the compatibility list and it is fine there. I tried to manually install it but it wants me to put the irq, i/o, etc. How would I know what those settings are? I figured it would find it during the install but it did not and did not give me the network config utility during the install. I checked the 3com site and downloaded the drivers and looked at the readme. At one point it wants me to look for the /etc/modules.conf. Well, it is not there! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
During the bootup the POST should display the IRQ, etc for the cards on the motherboard.

Or if you are already running, run
dmesg
to see what happened during bootup. There should be a line that says somethine like
Detected blah ethX blah blah at irq=blah etc....
Also run cat /proc/pci to see if it was detected.

Thanks for the info. I check the pci log and it was detecting it but not assigning it an irq. So I just moved in to another pci slot(i had it right next to the SBLive). It found it on the next boot, configured it, and now writing this from 7.2 on cable. Thanks for your responses.
