Hi, Huh... This is weird. I'm well aware of the 3c59x <-> 3c905[abc] mapping, but I'm surprised that people were able to get that driver to work with the 'c' version of the card. I was only able to make it work with 'a' and 'b' versions. <pause> But, now, after a google search, i find Donald Becker's page listing support for the 3c905c under the 3c59x driver: http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html There is, however, something weird in the wind, as 3com maintains a separate driver '3c90x' (GPL'd) for a subset of the cards (only 3c905B and 3c905C) that Donald's driver handles: http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/linux.htm So, it looks like my initial word shouldn't have been trusted after all :). I'd try to make the standard 3c59x driver work, Adam.
