Dear friends,

I have just installed Debian Linux.  Congratulations for the installation 
wizard.  I found it pretty easy and straightforward with lots of useful 
information.

Unfortunately the only part I haven't been able to successfully "install" 
is the 3c90x net module.  It installs but I cannot get any "talking" from my 
PC and the outer world.  I first noticed this when I attempted to install 
the base packages via NFS...

Do you know how I can obtain a debian module that supports the 3C905-TX NIC?

I did notice some references on the web (to some NASA site) where they
have apparantly a driver for the boomerang (as they call the 3C905-TX)
card but I don't really know how I can go about installing it?  Do I have 
to recompile the kernel?  The debian FAQ says that the network is setup 
via a module rather than being part of the kernel...

Any tips would be appreciated :)

Thanks.

Regards,

Dave
