Well, if you want some help with it, and Phil has some spare cards, and I can get the docs and specs on the cards, I'll help out with that, too (why do I get the feeling I'm going to be renamed driver-boy). I did a bunch of network card/driver testing and benchmarking at Sun, so I've kinda been there, done that *sigh*. I'm perfectly willing to help :) -Jon On Sat, 15 Aug 1998, Daniel O'Callaghan wrote: > > > On Fri, 14 Aug 1998, Phil Allsopp wrote: > > > I used to succesfully use 3Com 3c905 cards in a FreeBSD 2.2.5 box as vx0 but > > the new 3COM 3c905b-tx cards don't work and unfortunately every > > supplier now only supplies the 3c905b-tx cards. > > Has anyone got the 3C905b-tx cards to succesfully work under 2.2.5 > > and if so how ? > > The tx will never work under 2.2.5.
