This was my experience when I added an Ethernet card to my LC III. It
was necessary to re-run the OS installation package, choosing to
custom-install only the network ****tion.
I also recall a problem where the network driver did not load if there
was no Ethernet connection when the machine was booted. In other words,
connect the Ethernet ****t to an active device before booting.
One other problem is that you may need a cross-over Ethernet cable,
depending on what you are connecting to. Older equipment did not have
the automatic features available today.
