Duo Dock ethernet troubles

[techknight]

I have a Dayna Daynaport E/II-T ethernet card inside a duo dock, and the system 8.1 thats on my duo will NOT see the card natively. does it require a special driver? and where do i get it?

 

[JRL]

Yeah, it does.

Link to driver package

I tried it, it locks up the OS when i try to install it.

 

[JRL]

Try this.

 

[techknight]

both do the same thing.

I tried to run the hardware diagnostics and it just locked the whole machine up. hmmmm....

I copied the ethertalk extensions and overwrote what was already in the extension folder from installing the OS, i still get the issue on TCP/IP giving me an error that the predefined "ethernet" doesnt exist, so switching to localtalk, blah blah.

i think the ethernet card is shot funny though, i remmber long long long ago it used to work. native in the OS as it sat.

could be possible that the ethernet card needs System 7.
