>Description:
The 3COM 3C905 Revision B (which is the card that 3COM is currently
shipping) does not work under 2.2.6. The device driver source
(/usr/src/sys/pci/if_vx_pci.c) recognizes device IDs 0x905010b7
and 0x905110b7 as the 3C905, as evidenced by lines 85-86 of the
device driver:
if(device_id == 0x905010b7ul || device_id == 0x905110b7ul)
return "3COM 3C905 Fast Etherlink XL PCI";
The device_id for Revision B is 0x905510b7. Doing the obvious
and adding that ID as well to the if statement hangs the machine.
Sometimes, "out of mbufs" is displayed in the console.
>How-To-Repeat:
See the description!
>Fix:
Rumour has it that Revision B of the 3C905 has a new chipset; the
driver probably needs extended changes.
