dmesg probes PCI and starts assorted TCP/IP stuff, no mention of eathernet
though.

cat /proc/pci gave me this:
    Bus 0, device 13, function 0:
        Eathernet Controler: 3Com 3c905 100bTX (rev0)
            Medium devsel IRP 9, Master Compatable Latency=64. Min Grt=3.Max
Lat=8
            I/O at 0xfe80 [0xfe81]

I ran modconf, and they have several modules labled 3c5xx, but nothing that
matches 3c905.

I found a web page that has the source for a driver that they say will work
(scyld.com/network/vortex.html) but I don't really know how to convert that
into a driver that I can use.
There's a link to 3Com's own Linux drivers for the 3c950B and 3c950C, I
don't know if these are compatable with my card, it only reported it as
3c905. Is there somewhere that I can find out more specificly if my card is
the B or C model?
