Here's info for debian. Other distros might be different :). 3c5x9utils - Configuration and diagnostic utils for 3Com 5x9 cards. It didn't have the little menu thingy, but it was functional. Also look at the mii packages. mii-diag - A little tool to manipulate network cards net-tools - The NET-3 networking toolkit The latter has mii-tool. I also notice something else in debian. nictools-nopci - Diagnostic tools for many non-PCI ethernet cards ciao, der.hans -- # der.hans@LuftHans.com home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.DevelopOnline.com # A Polish friend of mine got an offer for a free account from AOL.
