Hi Guido,

I saw you ported this driver from OpenBSD to FreeBSD.
Do you see any chance to bring driver support for this
card in ? I have a customer machine here to build up
some virtual webservers and such ... ;-)

But I only have a small time scale. today and possibly tomorrow.
Otherwise I would have to tell the customer to choose another
card.

Tried to fix it in /usr/src/sys/pci/if_vx_pci.c
by hacking in support for this card:

--- if_vx_pci.c.orig    Wed Aug  5 14:44:38 1998
+++ if_vx_pci.c Wed Aug  5 14:45:00 1998
@@ -84,6 +84,8 @@
       return "3COM 3C900 Etherlink XL PCI";
    if(device_id == 0x905010b7ul || device_id == 0x905110b7ul)
       return "3COM 3C905 Fast Etherlink XL PCI";
+   if(device_id == 0x905510b7ul)
+      return "3COM 3C905B Fast Etherlink TX PCI";
    return NULL;
 }

Though the vx driver now has been assigned to this card,
the machine now hangs at boottime. If I go into single user
mode and type in the ifconfig command manualle, then the
kernel spits out

	out of mbuf clusters - increase maxusers

Well, actually this was a custom kernel with maxusers already 
set to 256.
