[SunHELP] PCMCIA Ethernet cards

Hi,

Does anyone know exactly which 3com Ethernet cards are supported by
the SPARC Solaris pcelx PCMCIA Ethernet driver? I've got a 3c589ET
(this is an old one with 3com Megahertz branding) which though
recognised, doesn't appear to work properly - the ethernet address
is reported as 0:ff:0:ff:0:ff by ifconfig once it's been 'plumbed'.
I can get it to come 'UP' using ifconfig, but it doesn't activate
the 'link' LED on the hub. The card is OK in a PC laptop.

Thanks.


Chris.
