Well, I didn't look closely enough. It's a 3c905cx-txm. Anyway, I tried the 3c59x module first, actually, but it didn't work. Now I'm not even sure the 3com provided driver will work. I might just put in a different card... Still wouldn't mind knowing how the third-party module install thing works, just to satify my curiousity, though. -Ron- John Kuhn wrote: > > You don't need to compile this driver from source.
