> Can somebody mail me a driver for [3C905B-TX] Damian, The 3c905b card can be used by 2.2.6? I had one, couldn't get it to work, then noticed that the 3c905 was listed as supported, but there was no mention of the 3c905b. I even emailed the guy that wrote the 905 drive (Fred Gray [he's in the man page]) if b was supported, and he said he didn't write one, and hadn't touched the code in about a year. The man pages for vx(4) for 2.2.6 (my version anyways) say: The vx driver provides support for the 3Com 3c590 and 3c595 EtherLink III and Fast EtherLink III PCI Ethernet cards in 10 Mbps mode. The on-line man pages for 2.2.7 and 3.0-current show the same man page (without mention of 3c905b). I'm using plain 905s right now; linux has had the 905b driver for a while now which is what we were using that card for (see http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html :-/). Oh wait: on page http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.0R/notes.html there's o Added full bus master DMA support for 3c900 and 3c905 adapters and added support for the 3c905B. [MERGED: Also in 2.2.8 and later releases on 2.2-STABLE branch] [...] 3Com 3C509, 3C579, 3C589 (PCMCIA), 3C590/592/595/900/905/905B PCI and EISA (Fast) Etherlink III / (Fast) Etherlink XL Well, looks like it's coming. Not sure if one can pop the driver code from the "2.2-STABLE branch" into one's 2.2.6 source tree and compile away--anyone?
