I download the source of
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.26.tar.bz2
In this kernel I didn't find 3c9xx. You have 3c59x that work well with
3Com 3C905C but it doesn't work with 3Com 3C905B. Then I took the driver
3c90x from
http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/linuxdownload.htm, I compiled
it, and it is working.
I dont know why I dont have 3c9xx in my kernel source.
Thank you.
