Hi Alexandru, your subject line seems to be a little confused about type card you have. a 3c905 is not a 3c590 , nor a 3c509, and therefore they do not have same driver. but probably you selected same module as you did on potato ? hm, your message sounds like you didnt install network modules on potato at all, then you might try to read kernelpackage changelog to see which NICs are not compiled into woody kernel but were in potato kernel. i dont know whether this will help, but if you dont have anything else to try...

3Com 3C905B-TX (3c59x.o) Kernel problem?!
Any hint or tip will be appreciated! Thank You in advance!;-) I'm running debian woody on a AMD Athlon and compiled a few kernels from kernel.org trying to fix my NIC problem. The problem is: the 3Com NIC works absolutely fine with my 2.2 kernel but for any 2.4 version and even the unstable 2.5 versions it just won't work. Menuconfig goes fine, and so does the compilation process. When I boot up the new kernel, everything seems to be working except for my NIC. I've tried compiling support for the card into the kernel: Network Device Support -- Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) -- 3Com cards -- 3c590 3c5900 series ... Vortex Boomerang Support. I've tried installing it staticly to the kernel (y) but also tried using it as a module (m), but each time, when I boot up into the completed kernel, the same thing. Module loads fine during startup, but cant ping anything, eth0 gets no ip from DHCP, and the static IP config fails also. Tried just going ifdown then ifup, made sure module loads, took module off etc etc etc a few times, nothing. Is there something I should be enabling that I'm not? What is it I'm not checking ?! please help me before i'm loosing my mind;-) *alexandru -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cable modem systems typically only allow packets from one particular MAC address. In your case it would be the one of the supplied NIC, 00:80:C6:EE:A2:E3. When you swapped the NIC, the MAC address changed to 00:01:02:ca:90:fb. The fact the that the LEDs are blinking on the cable modem means that the 3Com NIC is sending packets to it. I think the packets are being denied by the the cable companies router or gateway and thats why you don't get any response back to the originating machine. A simpler test for the 3Com NIC would be to use a crossover cable between it and another known working NIC in another computer. If this test should show the 3Com NIC to be working, then you could request your cable company to change the allowed MAC address to that one. -- Ron Golan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a hamm box freshly installed from CD. It has a 3COM 3c905B-TX NIC in it that doesn't seem to be recognized. I've about decided from the mail archives that the 2.034 kernel doesn't work with it. I also have a Win95 box I can use to download packages/files. I assume I need to download the 2.035 kernel and install it. Can anyone give me detail instructions about what to get, where to get it, and how to install it so my NIC will start working (assuming this is the problem)? TIA, Kent
Re: 3com 3C905B
I apologize for asking the question when it's been addressed so often, but the answers I've found in the mail archives haven't been simplistic enough for me. I have a hamm box freshly installed from CD. It has a 3COM 3c905B-TX NIC in it that doesn't seem to be recognized. I've about decided from the mail archives that the 2.034 kernel doesn't work with it. I do not know about 2.0.34 but it works with 2.0.35. I have a 3c905B and I have tested slink boot disks which came with 2.0.35. The current disk set, version 2.1.7, comes with 2.0.36, but the earlier disks worked fine with kernel 2.0.35 and 3c905B Ethernet card. I also have a Win95 box I can use to download packages/files. I assume I need to download the 2.035 kernel and install it. Can anyone give me detail instructions about what to get, where to get it, and how to install it so my NIC will start working (assuming this is the problem)? Do you mean instructions with compiling the kernel or getting the 3c905B working with 2.0.35 kernel? If you need help only with 3c905B I suggest you take a look at http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html which is the home page for various 3c* drivers, including 3c905B. From the page you will find the latest driver, the one I have been using, and also precompiled binaries for 2.0.x kernels. If you trust binaries compiled by a stranger, you can get the 3c59x.o module I have been using from ftp://sunsite.tut.fi/pub/Local/linux-atm/tmp/3c59x.o MD5 checksum 56d45abc68e436e81cfab1637262b8d6 3c59x.o The module was compiled from 3c59x.c, version 0.99H which is the same version that you can find from the web page above. The module may work with 2.0.34 but you have to use insmod -f 3c59x.o since the module was compiled with 2.0.35 and you are using 2.0.34.

Anything I should be aware of? I have them in all my machines, and they're fine. I've not tried loading them extremely heavily though. I've heard of them causing kernel panics when very highly loaded, but have never seen this myself. In fact, I've never had a problem with them, other than NT making them unusable on a dual boot machine, until I unplugged the power lead (but that's a PnP problem, I think). A lot of people recommend the Intel EtherExpress as an alternative (similar sort of price round my way too). -- Graham
SOT: Networking/Inquiry on 3Com 3C905B-TX
Because of all the trouble I had with my ISA SMC's, I am considering the, ahem, cheap way out and get me new Ethernet boards. I have been offered twisted-pair (RJ) only PCI boards, 3Com 3C905B-TX, which I map tp 10Base-Tx, Cyclone B revision, aka `Boomerang', aka EtherLink III XL. Anything I should be aware of? Ethernet-HOWTO and the 100mbs.html seem to be okay with this one, except that multicast is not done in hardware (the SMC EtherPower PCI with DEC 21140 seems to be superior). This net is supposed to be used for really excessive UDP networking tests (client-server game), and I might want to experiment with multicast as well. b.
3com 3c905b support in Hamm
Hi, Cards recognised by Hamm? I am about to get Hamm installed on 4 PC's. I have been checking out the hardware for Linux compatability by starting the installation of a RedHat 5.0 CD (my Installer arrives on Tuesday with the Debian CD and I want to be sure everything is going to be ready). Currently I have as many different network cards as PC's. Two are recognised by RH 5.0 two are not. The ones that are NOT recognised by RH5.0 are a Intel EtherExpress Pro 100/B and a 3Com 3c905b-tx Fast Etherlink XL PCI 10/100base-tx. Are these going to be recognised / work with Hamm? What confuses me is that a slightly older 3com 3c905 tx (ie not the b) is recognised by RH5.0 but as a 3c59x (Vortex). Thanks Dave PS When I say recognised by RH5.0 is means I start the installation, at the point of FDISK I jump to the menu and choose network configuration. With the working PCI card the installation just shows me it's name and goes straight to the setting of IP address etc. With the other cards I get a menu of supported cards, when I choose what I think is the correct one I get the change to autoprobe but it never finds the card. I realise a) Hamm installation is completely different and b) it may be possible to get these cards to work by setting some parameters manually. So what I really need to know is a) will Hamm support these cards automatically or if not can I get them to work with some manual parameter setting. Dave Warnock Sundayta Ltd www.sundayta.co.uk

Even if redhat 5.0 does recognize your card it will not function. At least, this was my case. This is because, the RedHat CD that I had came with 2.0.32 kernel. Before, you had to solve that problem by d/loading the 3c59x.c driver compiling it, putting it the /lib/modules/2.0.xx/, and adding a line alias eth0 3c59x in /etc/conf.modules. However the latest stable kernels already include the 3c59x driver that will work with 3c900/905 cards out of box. Hamm, does not recognize or detect your ethernet cards during install. You have to make sure that you select 3c59x module manually. It worked out of box. My computer was online once I rebooted after the install. Are these going to be recognised / work with Hamm?
