i have used such 3com cards with plain EPROM, and it was possible to
change the settings for the MBA code; so this info MUST be saved in=20
the little serial eeprom. (eprom is not writeable)
what i not know for sure:=20
where is the info about the selected interface of the card is saved
(3com combos with AUI, BNC and TP)
and where is the mac ad. saved (relativly sure also in the s. eeprom)
btw: a completly other questions:
are there any active bounties for features in etherboot?
(a want to spend some money! ;-)
