More seriously, in my time I have used 3c501, 503, 509, 589[BCD], 590, 900,
905, 905B. The Vortex (3c59x) and Boomerang (3c90x) series are supported by
the 3c59x.o module. The one thing I have discovered is that the auto-sensing
on the 3c905 is more than a little troublesome on a 100mbit LAN, you are
better off setting it to not auto-sense using the utility disk. I've seen
general references to doing this as a flag in the source, but haven't managed
to do it in conf.modules. Any ideas?
Paul.
