| Post subject: | 3Com 3C905c-TXM - RESOLVED?? |
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: http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/~jdnewmil/lr ... notes.html 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. |

| Post subject: | Where is 3c59x? |
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? |

| Post subject: | NIC cards still not detected |
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. |
