I have a 3Com "Fast EtherLink XL NIC (3C905B-TX)" according to NT. The default kernel does not recognize my card. If I could get a custom kernel to do so, that would be great. I did not know netbsd-athena-8.2 was using the 1.3.3 kernel, which I knew to be the earliest kernel to support my card.
Thank you for any help.
