Hi,
i just recently installed two linux-servers both with a 3c905TX Boomerang.
I took the latest 2.0.30 kernel and replaced the 3c59x.c driver with a
newer version v0.39 4/1/97. There seems to be a v0.40 which is capable of
busmastering, but i didn't try that one yet.

Well all in all no probs till now,

Regards,
Micha.
