Re: newbie: 3c905C eth0 card not detected
Hi,
At the company I work we had the same problem (with the 2.0 kernel) and we
fixed it with a patch suplied by 3Com (the don't give any support on it) and
it seemed to go ok.. but then i generated kernel crashes. And it was on the
systems with the 3c905c cards. We have replaced them with 3c905b cards (wich
are a llitle bit expensiver in The Netherlands) but they work ok (after i
recompiled the kernel). I believe they are supported in the 2.2 kernel so I
will advise you if you want to stay with debian 2.1 to upgrade the kernel or
else the whole distribution.
Kind regards,
Gerjan Teselink
