Hi,

3com have recently launched a new version on their Fast Etherlink XL
3C905, called the 3C905B. As far as improvments go, it uses less
processor time by making use of longer packet-sized bus master transfers
(as opposed to 64 byte transfers, as before).

This means new driver code...

Check it out at:

Where is the source for the 3C509 et al NICs? something .nasa.gov?

Bye
