I'm using a 3Com 905 Boomerang and it worked fine from the first time.
Try  recompiling your kernel, uncheck 3Com 509 support and check 3Com
905 Vortex/Boomerang.
If it is not working, try using 3Com 509 Vortex driver, it works since
2.027, at least.
Anyway, it worked for me.
Best regards,

1. 3Com 3C905B-TX runs at 10M instead of 100M

Hi,

I know, this problem is not new, but I would like to ask for some experience
with it, so I maybe don't have to install a new kernel on a Software
bootable RAID1......

I got a 3COM 3C905B-TX network adapter.  It works only at 10M. Now this is
known to be a driver problem, but (stupid as I am) when I built my RAID
kernel I compiled the driver into the Kernel instead of having it as a
module.  Now, to my knowledge, setting any options in modules.conf doesn't
help (options 3C59x options=12).

The correct solution (I think) would be to compile a new kernel. But I am a
little reluctant to do this as long as I am not sure whether this will help.
So please, encourage me... Would it help to test the option line by typing
this line at the boot prompt?

I am using SuSE 6.0/Kernel 2.0.36.

Thanks for help

Cheers,
Till
