Hi. Unfortunately, the 3c905B uses a very different interface
than the rest of the 3com ethernet cards, and the driver in
NetBSD-1.3.2 can not use it. There is a new driver that should go into
netbsd-current soon that will be able to use it, but running -current
for the sake of a network card is not something to attempt lightly.
