Send me patch (privately if it's too big to post to list) and I'll try it on
my laptop and another system with a 3c905a card. I have a b and a c version
of the 905 at work.

I thought of something, I'm not sure if anyone would like the idea or not.
call it 3com32.c (Driver for 3com 32-bit cards. AFAIK, all the cards you
listed are 32 bit. I guess it would break, as far as the file name goes, if
it supported the 64 bit cards. Does 3com even make 64-bit pci nics?)
