Re: 3com 3c90x install
You don't need to compile this driver from source. During the 'Configure
Device Driver Modules' load the '3c59x' module. Yes, the current 3c59x
module does work with the 3c905c-tx. I used the 3com source driver
with older versions of the 2.2.x kernels, but it is not needed for
2.2.18pre21.
