Hello!

I see that 3Com has three different Gigabit NICs available for copper:
- 3C996B-T
- 710024 (a more expensive NIC with memory <- is this cache?)
- 3C2000-T (a 'desktop' Giga NIC).

Which of those have Linux drivers available (with source code, not
binary-only drivers)?

Thanks, Danilo

3C996B-T: see

710024: not even a binary driver AFAICS

3C2000-T: this has a Marvell Yukon chipset AFAIK. In this case, the
driver is part of 2.4.23+ kernels, or available from here:
