You folks are confusing the 509B with the 905B.  The original poster
asked about the 509B.  3COM has a wonderful model numbering system,
don't they?  Someone will buy another 3COM NIC around here only over
my dead body, but I do use one 3C509B (a.k.a. EtherLink III) in a
FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE box and it has been working just fine.
