Is this chip (3COM Fast Etherlink XL PCI 3C905-5) supported? I am using 2.2.7 and the chip is not seen by the kernel (driver vx). When reading the code (/src/sys/pci/if_vx_pci.c), the following signatures are supported: 3COM Fast Etherlink XL PCI 3C905 for device_id 905010b7 and for device_id 905110b7 (and others for 3C590 and 3C900). However, the device_id reported by the chip in my office's PC (a Dell Optiplex GX1, but don't buy it!) is: 905510b7 which is not seen by the vx driver at boot time. I tried (of course) to lie to the kernel by inserting this new device_id in if_vx_pci.c. The kernel see now the device, I can configure it (ifconfig), but when I start to send/receive frames, FreeBSD hangs up. -- Juan L.
