Hello,

I am about to replace my old 8 bit 3C503 network adapter by a new
one.  In the RELNOTES file I saw that 3Com 3C509 is supported but the
vendor can only deliver 3C509B (note the trailing B).

Since I had bad experience with another brand where the drivers have
changed after adding a B to the model number I was wondering if this
3Com card should work with FreeBSD release 2.1.0.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
