Hello,

I have trouble getting my 3c905-TX to work. The output of my boot is
listed below. I insmod the driver with debug=6 and options=6. The card
is connected to a 3Com Superstack II TX hub at 100Mhz. On the card the
10Mbps link indicator is on and the Activity indicator is on all the
time.
It's a dual boot machine with NT and linux and the card works perfectly
under NT. Can anyone help me?
