The 3c900 and 3c590 are the same except > for the contents of the 'what am I?' PCI register. What about the 3C905-TX? I just got this card yesterday and haven't been able to make it work. Is it similar to the 3C900/3C590? I got the 2.2-Current kernel source and modified the vx driver to reconize my card, but that wasn't enough. I got additional errors about the eprom not responding (or something like that). I'd be happy to make the required changes to the dirver to support this card if someone could give me a few pointers (like where to get the required tecnical documents, etc). Does anyone know anything about this card? It's a 10/100BASE-TX PCI card. Thanks, Curt Welch
