I assume that the modules on the official CD are rather complete, is that
not accurate? I did try several different modules, but I gave up and my
vendor supplied a fa311.o module so I evenutally used that on one box.
3com's drivers never worked out.

will do... you just seemed to make a statement ("I've never seen NIC's not
work with stock kernels" or something like that) that could use some more
info...
I'll file the fa311/natsemi bug against kernel-image-2.2.19pre17-idepci
and the 3c905C after I figure out if it works at all with any kernel.
