Anyone able to identify this SE/30 Network Card?

[SuperSVGA]

I recently found this card, and it's not one I've seen before. There are no clear identifiable markings on it other than "470E". Has anyone seen this card before?

Might be National Semiconductor, it has a National Semiconductor chip in the top picture.

This should be a CNET card.

You can plug it in and run TattleTech or Slotinfo to see what the Declaration ROM is telling you.

Yep, that was it. I finally got the SE/30 out and it was identified as a CNet Technology CN470E card.

Now to find some drivers that work...

Does anyone know of any compatible drivers for this card?

I got access to an SE/30 that it was in to boot up but didn't see anything that looked like any sort of driver. There were things in the Extensions folder like Apple IP Gateway, EtherTalk Phase 2, Link Tool Manager, SNMP Manager, Timbuktu, as well as MacTCP. Could any of those be providing the driver?

I saw an old comment that this card is supported natively by Mac OS 7.5+.

With DHCP it may not pull an IP until you launch a browser or similar app.

Hmm, the SE/30 it came out of was running 7.1, and apparently it somehow worked on there. I guess I could try installing 7.5 if I have to. 

I did try setting a static IP in MacTCP, but it didn't seem to do anything on the network (unless I still needed to launch a web browser or something).

DHCP hasn't always existed. Before it there was BootP. You could be dealing with TCP software written before DHCP existed.

Have you tried Appletalk via the phone jack?

Jack labeled "Phone" has RJ-45 written all over it, but I only count 7 contacts in the closeup?

good point

I think there's an 8th on the right side, just slightly cut off due to the angle.

It seems to connect to my switch just fine, the switch identifies it as 10HDX, which I assume is correct. It just doesn't seem to show up on the network though even with a static IP set.
