True...however (IIRC), the driver on 3Com's site only supports a small
subset of
the cards that Becker's driver(s) supports, and 3com's only works on i386,
whereas Becker's works on multiple archs. It's a pretty pathetic attempt..
in that respect they are right down there with Intel. However I must admit
I do like the 3C905[bc] cards.
