i'm running dsl on my solo 3350 and grabbed the 3c90x driver from 3coms site but alas, DSL still won't utilize it.

does anyone know of/have a 3c905ctxm driver (or compatible) for dsl?

currently when i run compile_UP i am not left with a 3c90x.o file but instead multiple 'dereferencing pointer to incomplete type' errors

am i going about the install wrong or do i need a different driver

any help is much obliged

I don't know for you specify problem but to compile a driver from sources you need at least following MyDSL extensions:
-gnu-utils.dsl
-dsl-dpkg.dsl
-gcc1.dsl
-kernelsource.dsl
-linux-kernel-headers.dsl

What happens if you open a terminal window and type:

sudo su
modprobe 3c59x
netcardconfig

If your network supports DHCP (most do), choose DHCP YES
