Was is still broken that recently? I thought that potato boot disks
worked ok with the 905c, and that it was broken with slink. Of course, I
get confused, since I still have a bunch of 3c905b cards floating
around.
As for a new kernel, It's not too bad to do a boot disk with a custom
kernel... of course, that can be kind of a chicken and egg problem for
someone without an existing installation around!
Thanks for the clarification on the version.
