Hello, I have a 3COM 3C905C-TX NIC that is supported by just about every Linux distro under the sun, except that Knoppix 3.9 does not recognize the card as supported when I run the Network Card Configuration tool.

If I do a lsmod, I see 3c59x in the list with a '0' in the "Used by" column. I tried booting with the "pci=biosirq" cheat code just in case but still no dice.

I wonder if this is a 2.6 kernel thing? It seems that the latest stable Ubuntu Live CD also will not recognize my NIC card, but if I go back to Knoppix 3.7 which uses the 2.4 kernel, it works fine. In that case lsmod shows 3c59x with a '1' in the "Used by" column.

Any ideas on how to get this working with Knoppix 3.9? I don't have a DVD drive so I can't try the latest 4.0 DVD release.

Thanks.
