Hi,

Does anyone know where the kernel modules are for a 3Com 3C905c-TXM ethernet card. I have read elsewhere that I need the 3c59x or 3c90x drivers:

Are there any drivers in the latest KnoppMyth release (R5D1) that will allow me to use this card?

Thanks,

Boris

The 3c59x module you mention should work although there is a good chance the support for this NIC is built in the kernel and doesn't require loading a module.

I expected the 3Com NIC to be supported too, however, lspci yields nothing (ie. nada, zip).

modprobe 3c59x fails since I cannot find that module on the CD (although I've found a few other 3cxxx modules); and dmesg shows no NIC found.

Can anyone tell me the best way to find out if that module exists in the file system (Auto-installed) or in the .iso? If it does not is there a way to get it or is there another module that will work?

I installed a LinkSys EtherFast 10/100 LNE 100TX and it was not detected either...The BIOS sees it and I've switched pci slots. The motherboard is a MSI k7t266 Pro2. I think this is a fairly common motherboard. As I said, lspci shows nothing...

I have not tried a windows install with this motherboard but I did try a Fedora install and it too did not recognize the nic. It's possible that the issue was related to a bad motherboard.
