When I was down in Atlantic City last weekend, I was greeted when I got home, by a down server. I went through all of he origional problems, restart the computer, check the port forwarding, check the ip address... but when push came to shove, my NIC was dead, and worse yet, it was my on board built in 1gb NIC. So, after a failed trip to BBuy, Vadim came to the rescue with a handful of circuit boards.
"Yo.. one of these should work."
So what's the best way to test them? Why place them all in at once and see what happens.

Hahah.. well you can keep em at least. I couldn't get drivers for the two but the IBM chipset was auto detected ironicly enough.

Becuase you would think that IBM, who used to be the main hardware manufacturers for windows would not be compatible where as 3com a name brand cross OS supplier would.

but, IBM, happens to currently be a *nix supporter. and if i recall osX's backend is BSD which one of the delicious flavours of *nix, =P. Oh, 3com smells of sewerage.
