Installation : how to find 3Com card?

[James Sinnamon <sinnamon@usq.edu.au>]

Dear Debian users,

This is  some  output of dmesg on my Mandrake Linux system:

3c59x.c 16Aug00 Donald Becker and others
http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html
eth0: 3Com 3c905 Boomerang 100baseTx at 0xd000,  00:60:08:a3:c7:2e, IRQ
11
  8K word-wide RAM 3:5 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/MII interface.
  MII transceiver found at address 24, status 786d.
  Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives.
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,PS2]


This seems to be roughly consistent with what Windows 95 tells me.  My
Ethernet card  is a:

3Com Fast Etherlink XL 10Mn 10/100Mb TX Ethernet NIC (3C905-TX)

... although I am not sure what the significance of the line,
beginning with  '3c59x.c',  is.

However, when I run "Configure The network" from within dbootstrap, it
tells
me that it is unable to find a network device.

I guess I might just try to re run "Install Operatiing System and
Modules"
using  drivers.tgz and base2_2.tgz from, but if anyone can offer any
suggestions
in the meantime, I would be very grateful.

TIA

JAmes
