However, it doesn't seem to recognise it. The version of freeBSD is 2.2.6. The 3com options in the setup procedure only gives the option of 3com's 3c509 network adaptor, not the required 3c905b-tx. Does this mean that this is a fruitless adventure or is there something simple that I am missing? Any assistance would be gratefully received.
