@Chris no, the 3c589.device is compatible with OS4.0 on classic
so, for all of you who want to know, Neil Cafferkey (the author of 3c589.device)wrote me some good and working advices:
<< You *do* need pccard.library. I've read that thread, but the person who said that pccard.library is unnecessary is wrong (unless there's a special version of 3c589.device in OS4 that I don't know about).
First, you need to create the net interface with a text editor. Create a text file with the following contents:
device=3c589.device configure=dhcp
Then save the file as "SYS:Storage/NetInterfaces/3COM". You will need a router or similar with a DHCP server for this file to work. Then, to start up the interface, run this in the shell:
addnetinterface 3com
Hopefully, networking will now work. If so, please run the following command:
configurenetinterface 3com offline
To get the interface to start up on boot, you need to move the file from SYS:Storage/NetInterfaces to SYS:Devs/NetInterfaces. Be careful though: don't put any network interface file in SYS:Devs/NetInterfaces unless you're sure it won't crash and prevent you booting. To use a static address, change the contents of the interface file to the following (example):
device=3c589.device address=192.168.1.3 netmask=255.255.255.0
to add DNS addresses, use the Internet Prefs GUI (hopefully it won't crash). When you start it, click on Routes, then enter your router's address in the Default Gateway box. Then click on Name Resolution, click New, and add your primary DNS server's address. Then click New again and add the any other DNS server. Then Save and reboot. >>
for me it worked OK, hope it'll work for you too :) Many thanx to Neil
