Bering most likely includes it, as I'm posting this from my Windows box to my server through a 905C. Whether the CX is enough functionally different that the 2.4 Series 3c59x won't work either is another matter. What I DO know is that prior to 2.4.1, none of the 3c905C cards were supported by the 3c59x, and I almost had a conniption fit when I realized that the new card I had with my brand new system didn't want to run under Linux. I thought that the 3c59x module was backported from 2.4.x to 2.2.19 and later, but I can't say for sure. -- George Metz Commercial Routing Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] "We know what deterrence was with 'mutually assured destruction' during the Cold War.

Re: [Leaf-user] Looking for alternate 3c59x module for 3c905c
I've found that using older NICs is generally your best bet if using a consumer DSL or Cable connection. You'll probably never saturate the 10 Mb/s offered by them and you can avoid all the potential Driver related pitfalls (different chipset revisions etc). At home I'm using 2 old 10 Mb NICs that have ports for AUX, BNC, and Cat 5 - and they work wonderfully. Unfortunately I've never seen a version of the 3c905 driver from 3com that was compiled for LEAF/LRP...

[Leaf-user] Looking for alternate 3c59x module for 3c905c
Hello Simon, (Or should I say "Salut'?) 'Problems with 905c's'. Interesting comment. I just went out a got a couple of 3c905c's and they don't work with Dach's 3c59x module. Works with LRP 2.9.8 3c59x, and also no prob with Red Hat 7.2 3c59x. Posted question on Vortex list, and received the reply below. Does anyone have the 3c905 from 3com compiled for Dachstein? http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/linuxdownloads.htm Maybe that would work. Or other suggestion?
