Hi,
I'm interested in installing Athena-Linux on my PC, but on the installer
website, I found the following note:
"There is unfortunately still a known problem with some revisions of the
3com 3c905b and 3c905c ethernet cards; they fail to auto-detect correctly
with the standard floppy, and the installer fails to find the network.
We'll send an announcement to linux-announce if and when a fix becomes
available. "
The ethernet card on my computer is 3Com 3c905B-TX. I was wondering if the
problem with this device has been fixed. If the current installer still
has this problem, is it possible to install Athena-Linux on my computer?
Thanks,
Zhiqiang Li
