'lspci -v' in ML9.0rc1 says I have a:
Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 30).
Seems the same one :)

I switched my HDD to a spare 1 GB one and started to install SNF. I have
only that one NIC and it was recognised and assigned an IP address.
'configure manually' only gave me options to change IP address etc. .
Switching to VC2 (ctrl-alt-F2) gave me a # prompt and 'lspci -v' listed
my NIC. 'dmesg' also mentioned recognizing the card. 'lsmod' listed the
3c59x module for the card.

I think the above is about module options. I don't think the 3c59x module
_needs_ options. I think something went wrong earlier during install with
recognising your NIC. Maybe moving the NIC to another slot or trying another
NIC? Or see what happens if you remove the D-Link NIC? Does the NIC work
under LM8.2? In the BIOS is 'PnP OS installed' set to 'no'?

Hey, good luck! (and thanks for your link about Creative's anti-piracy
