Re: HELP: 3Com 509B(or 900B TP0) Network Problem
I never had any problems with 3coms.
I always compile the support into kernel.
509 works:
eth0: 3c509 at 0x300 tag 1, 10baseT port, address 00 10 5a 03 d3 82, IRQ 10.
3c509.c:1.16 (2.2) 2/3/98 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov.
and also 900 works:
3c59x.c:v0.99H 11/17/98 Donald Becker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html
eth0: 3Com 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at 0xec00, 00:10:5a:25:f8:3f, IRQ 10
8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/Autonegotiate interface.
