I've got one of these adapters that has been chugging away in a WinNT box
without any difficulty. I'd like to convert the box to a nice 100Mbit
machine on the LAN if there is support for it.

Also, is there a work-around for the 'Faulty ROM Revision' message that I
get when trying to install FBSD on a box using our older 3Com 590 PCI cards
?  It detects the card but doesn't initialize it for an FTP install.

How about full-duplex capabilities for these cards ?

Thanks.
