Woody Carey reported to this list 7/2: "I am running 3.2 on a 3Com 3c905-B, 
which worked fine OOTB (GENERIC) kernel."

I have had the opposite experience with the installation of 3.2-RELEASE 
(GENERIC kernel) with my 3c905B-TX NIC. After checking that the kernel 
config included the 3c90X cards, I didn't see xl0 being detected (though the 
lines flew by quickly before the screen refreshed -- I could have missed 
something). When I chose to install via FTP, xl0 was missing.

This may be related to the problem discussed in a thread on bsdi-users: 
http://www.nexial.com/cgi-bin/bsdibodyview?h=3&d=69328&q=3c905.

Help! I'm thinking either (1) a new generic install kernel will soon be 
available that remedies my problem or (2) get a different card.
