Re: 3c90x woes
3c905Cs require updated drivers if your REALLY LUCKY you can get the
default kernel driver to work although it most likely will say ***
INVALID CHECKSUM ***
best to get the drivers from www.3com.com (my reccomendation)
the detection logged by the kernel is as follows:
3Com 3c90x Version 1.0.0d 1999 <linux_drivers@3com.com>
1 line, thats it..wish it had more info but it doesnt. (version 1.0.0d may
be outdated by the time you get the current version)
