Hardware / [Solved] Xircom - PCMCIA Ethernet - Thinkpad - OS/2 Warp 3 Connect
« on: October 20, 2025, 03:49:39 am »
** I have switched out the 3Com card for a Xircom to continue troubleshooting **
I'm needing help if anyone has any suggestions. I have a Thinkpad 600e with OS/2 Warp 3 Connect installed. I'm having trouble getting the PCMCIA 3Com EtherLink III 3C589D card working. When booting up I get a error saying interface does not exist. Here are the steps I have taken with some pictures:
1. Installed PC Card Director for OS/2 version 4.12 - https://thinkpads.com/support/Thinkpad-Drivers/download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/ddfm/600e.html
2. Installed 3COM 3C589 Etherlink III PCMCIA ethernet card NDIS driver https://www.os2site.com/sw/drivers/network/3com/589os2.zip
3. Configured TCP/IP and NETBUI
