3C589D using RJ-45 on Rhapsody possible?

[larbob]

I've been trying to get a 3C589D using a 3COM 10/100 dongle to work on Rhapsody DR2. According to this post http://www.nextcomputers.org/forums/index.php?topic=8.msg27#msg27, you should be able to add ",Connector=RJ-45" to the auto detect ID string in order to force RJ-45, but for me that just makes Rhapsody not create the interface at all as it stops detecting the card as compatible with the driver. I have the same issue as the other poster in that thread where Rhapsody just says the card is using AUI.

I've tried 3 different 3C589D cards, two being vanilla 3C589Ds (10BASE-T + Coax) and one being a 3C589D-TP (10BASE-T only). I've also verified the IRQ, base I/O address, etc. are set correctly using the DOS drivers.

It seems like somehow all of the dongles I have are incompatible with the cards I have. I have dongles from 10/100 3COM cards even though I don't even own those cards! Haha. Looks like I need to buy the proper dongle from somewhere.

Works fine with the proper dongle!
