Linksys 5port hub EW5HUB is not detected by 3com 3C59X on puppy.
It does detect my other router a D-Link 100baseT.
What to do to make puppy see the 10baseT network. Tried windozz Ma$hine it works, puppy still looking. Any idea?
Change to 10baseT data rate instead of 100baseT for EW5HUB
*scratches head*
No OS will 'detect' a hub...that I know of...they are completely invisible and just allow more network connections and for routers to hand out more IP addresses to said extra connections.
Furthermore...
A quick Google turns up that the EW5HUB is only 10 meg anyway, as are most if not all hubs.

That is right. My network is at 10baseT behind a liksys hub EW5HUB.
"detect" is the wrong word, I should say instead the Nic card on eth0 light does not come up when connected to the hub EW5HUB. But will if directly connected to a Dlink router DI-704UP at 100baseT.
So, I tried instead another 3com nic 10/100baseT on eth1. And now it works, I can use samba to network with M$ machines.
I still am puzzled why that problem nic was unable to ajust to 10baseT.
I wanted to change the data rate But how? and where?

Changing the data rate for EEPRO100 NIC to 10 Mbps
Turns out my nic on toshiba portege 7200 is: eepro100 (on eth0)
Some linux versions where able to make it work with this:
alias eth0 eepro100
options=0x40 #for a 10Mbps lan
at the same time, I have on eth1 a pmcia 3com 359X that allows me to post here. {it adjust to 10 lan]
I am not sure what .conf file to test this with puppy 2.17 livecd.
I tried mobprobe.conf in vain. any other idea?
