Is this to imply that FreeBSD has problems with 3Com 3C905 (10/100
Base-TX) cards as well? I was under the impression that FreeBSD and
Linux were the only two OSes outside of Microsoft to have semi-decent
drivers for these cards, primarily because of the user community self-support.
I do have one Intel EtherExpress Pro 100+ that I could stuff into the
machine I'm building, but I kind of wanted to hang onto it for more
critical functions, and for the less critical machines perhaps get by
with just a 3Com 3C905....
