FreeBSD v2.2.7 :installs fine with the 3c905 card as vx0. If I try to use the 3c905B card, :FreeBSD finds the card but doesn't recognize it. It only sees it as a PCI :ethernet card. This is the same way that it recognizes token ring cards. >From my experience there was nothing I could do to get 2.2.7 to recognize and assign a driver to my 3c905B, I have seen some chatter about maybe a patch o drive update for the 2.2.7 kernel however I would suggest waiting till October 15th (I think it is) for the release date of 3.0. Or you can update to current, which has support for the 3c905B as well as other nifty NIC cards. That's what I finally ended up doing anyways.
