: The standard distribution of Linux only supports the 3c59x (Vortex) line of
: cards. If you want support for the 3c90x (Boomerang) series, you'll have
well ... my etherlink xl plus (900?) is supported just fine by the 59x.
In fact, it crashes under boomerang.
3Com EtherLink III: Overriding PCI latency timer (CFLT) setting of 32, new
value is 255.
eth0: 3Com 3c900 Boomerang 10baseT at 0x6100, 00:a0:24:d4:30:d9, IRQ 10

: to get Donald Becker's extended driver.
As I recall, I had to get both the 59x and the boomerang from donald's pages.
I may be wrong on this .. obviously it is hard to check now. I am running
2.0.25 on a P200 with an aha2940u here.
