FreeBSD v2.2.7 installs fine with the 3c905 card as vx0. If I try to use the 3c905B card, FreeBSD finds the card but doesn't recognize it. It only sees it as a PCI ethernet card. This is the same way that it recognizes token ring cards. The 3c905B card seems to be much more common these days on the newer PC's than the 3c905. I have found that most O/S's have problems with this new card, and you have to use the drivers that come with the card. The drivers provided by the O/S for the 3c905 card do not work for the 3c905B. I have seen this problem with Windows 95/98 and Novell servers. The difference between those O/S's and FreeBSD is that 3Com will write drivers for those O/S's. Have you seen this at all?
