A quick update - I had time to test the 3com driver on a single card -
so I chose the 3c905-TX (rev. A) for simplicity.
It loaded and found 1 card (according to the syslog output) - and I
could see it at /dev/net/3com/0
Unfortunately the netstack driver failed to load, so i was unable to
run ifconfig. I haven't tracked this down any further - and I realize
that since I've updated Haiku to the latest rev, I have NOT tried
networking first on my working rtl8139 before swapping it out for the
3com card. I will need to switch back and test that before I file a
bug.
I'll let you know what I find soon (either tonight or tomorrow). I
figured I'd mention it just in case it's easy to fix without further
details.
