We are using here at TAU the 3C501 Etherlink controllers.
We have more then 10 PCs connected to our suns (2 sun-3 servers).
We had no problems installing them and they work fine. We use DMA
configuration "1" as described in the manual.
What is most important is to check what interrupt request is configured on
the board (and DMA ofcourse) and to make sure (absolutly sure) that no other
device is using one of those, if it does - nothing will work.

If you still have problems - i'll be glad to help.
