Hmm interesting... I just trashed a tulip card for a 3c905 card. I was
having problems with the tulip card (SMC 9332DST 10/100). It kept dropping
down to 10Mbit and other strange things. So I put in a 3c905 and it SEEMS
to be working great. Not only does it run consistantly at 100Mbit but it
auto-detected full duplex. More than i could ever get from the tulip
card. I believe the 3c905 is the "Boomerang" model. I run kernel 2.0.32.
Are their any problems I should look forward to? Related to netatalk of
course :)
Matt
