I think it was just a typo on my part.  My nic is 3c905.

I believe the Modules selections page has it listed wrong.  But I
haven't been willing to rerun base-config up to that section, to find
out for sure.  Afraid I will mess up the install I now have running.

Maybe there is some way to page thru it with no risk, but some of the
screens seem to demand an action be taken and won't allow you to
proceed without taking some action.

To recap this here:  What I'm suggesting is that the screen presented
during install that allows you to select a nic driver, has the wrong
driver listed adjacent to 3c905.

At this point I'm confused enough that I'm not really sure that is
even true.
