I found a machine in my network with such a card: xl0: <3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0x1100-0x117f mem 0xf0600000-0xf060007f irq 20 at device 0.0 on pci16 Still using 10.3, but it will get updated eventually like everything else. Are you working on updating the numbers for pcn, de and ed? I believe the numbers on the FCP page are wrong. -- Joel
