just to avoid confusion: the driver for the 3com 905 is 3c59x, i don't
know whether it would work for your 3com 920 card though.. the dummy net driver
should be in the net category in modconf, if it's not please specify
again what version of debian gnu/linux and what linux kernel you are
using.. also, whether it's a stock kernel image or one you compiled
yourself..
