[ale] 3Com 3c905B-TX

[Dave Brooks]

Nevermind, I found the problem.

I had that goofy PnP OS bios option set to Yes, so my PCI cards werent
getting IRQ's assigned by the bios.  I changed it to No and my ethernet and
sound cards were detected without a problem.

Thus spake Dave Brooks,
>Is anyone successfully using this card with kernel 2.2.16?
>
>modprobe 3c90x appears to load okay, but reports the MAC address as
>00:00:00:00:00:00, and reports "No such device" when I attempt to set an IP
>address or plumb up the interface.  
>
>If I execute a 'modprobe 3c59x debug=1 options=0,,8 full_duplex=0,0,1', it
>appears to see the card, but reports "using IRQ 0 may be unsuccessful", and
>unfortunately there is no provision in either 3c90x.o or 3c59x.o to manually
>specify an IRQ address.
>
>Does anyone know how this can be rectified?  I know I've gotten this card to
>work before under linux, unfortunately it was some time ago and I don't
>remember exactly what I did.

>Best,
