There are two ways to go around. 1) FreeBSD 2.2.7 doesn't support the NIC by default, but 2.2.8 DOES. 2) You can get the patch to the kernel from http://www.jp.FreeBSD.org/~hanai/xl.tgz, and compile it. I recommand (1). Good luck. -- Kazukiyo Ueda Faculty of Engineering Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan email: kueda@jupiter.qse.tohoku.ac.jp From: Brian Freeman <bef126@psu.edu> Subject: 3Com 3C905B XL Date: Fri, 11 Dec 1998 13:11:15 -0500 > I have installed FreeBSD 2.2.7 on a new Dell computer (Pentium II 350) > that has a 3Com905B XL NIC.
