a T21 is a ThinkPad 21 i take it

now from what i can see here there are a few
t21s out there, with different CPUs in them
but the network card appears to be
consistently 3Com made, which one isn't all
that clear to me here. Just check the cat
/proc/pci and you should get something like this:

 Bus  6, device   0, function  0:
    Ethernet controller: Realtek
Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
(rev 16).
      IRQ 11.
      Master Capable.  Latency=64.  Min
Gnt=32.Max Lat=64.
      I/O at 0x4800 [0x48ff].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at
0x11000000 [0x110001ff].
(NOTE i've got a realtek PCMCIA card in this
notebook)

So under Device Drivers > Network Support 

You've got "Networking support" and "Network
device support" enabled

go into "Ethernet (10 or 100 MBti)" and
enable support for you card (as determined by
the cat /proc/pci) there is support for 3com
there.

good luck

[Eric Brunner-Williams in Portland Maine]

I have either a (wired) networked laptop, without a mouse, the lack of which
is slowly destroying my hand, in a 2.4.x kernel, or a no-network-device laptop
with a marvelous pain-free mouse, in a 2.6.x kernel.

I'd like to have both, in either kernel. If anyone has a solution, I'll make
a contribution via PayPal to the software project, or developer of the clue
provider's choice. My hand really hurts.
