On the other hand, I have a P200 with a 3COM 3C900C, which is the 10Mb
only version, running just fine with NetBSD. I also had a AST p166 system
at work with a 3C509 and a 3C905. When I was installing, with the GENERIC
kernel, I used the 3C905 to download the tarballs.
Unfortunately, I can no longer experiment with it as the lab is being
relocated from Massachusetts to Texas, and I ain't going.
