Not according to the list of supported hardware. I installed it, however,
(3Com905-TX) and it works using the vx0 device (FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE). Am I
missing some important features of the card by using it without the proper
support? (I'm using it at 10BaseT - my network will be moved to 100BaseT
soon)
