Hi all,

I decided to give Debian a run and ran into a problem during the install.

I have a 3Com 3C905B NIC and cannot find the module for it in the Debian install. It lists the 3C50x series but not the 3C90x series.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

General info on the 3COM 900 series drivers, and the 905B specifically, can be found here (http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html).
