When I booted my system, it would say something like "unrecognized device" (can't remember now). I configured it the same as for my 905 (IRQ and address). You're really sure that it is supported for 2.2.6? The man page for 2.2.6 is January 15, 1996 and the 905b isn't a very old card. Also the wording o Added full bus master DMA support for 3c900 and 3c905 adapters and added support for the 3c905B. [MERGED: Also in 2.2.8 and later releases on 2.2-STABLE branch] in http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.0R/notes.html seems to strongly suggest that it was recently added. Running some fgreps in /usr/src/sys/pci for 905 and 3COM, I get: if_tx.c: sc->dot3stats.dot3Compliance = DOT3COMPLIANCE_COLLS; if_vx_pci.c: if(device_id == 0x905010b7ul || device_id == 0x905110b7ul) if_vx_pci.c: return "3COM 3C590 Etherlink III PCI"; if_vx_pci.c: return "3COM 3C595 Fast Etherlink III PCI"; if_vx_pci.c: return "3COM 3C900 Etherlink XL PCI"; if_vx_pci.c: return "3COM 3C905 Fast Etherlink XL PCI"; I looked through /usr/src/sys/dev/vx also; the source tree at minnie seems to be down (at least from where I am).
