the b and c versions of the cards are covered under the 3C589 Driver,
supposedly. And then the D has its own card.
I'm dealing with the same problems with two versions of those cards, an
Xjack version and normal one. For both, the light comes on for a
second, and then off.
annoying eh?
(I just ordered an oricnoco wireless card online for rather cheap, so I
might not have to deal with those cards anymore, hoping that it's not
my slots that aren't broken.)
I just got my newton.. so... we'll see....
the guy has a good track record, though...
