helody!
...have 3 NICs (all working with 3.2, in fact its the same machine)
3C900B, 3C905CX-TXM and OvisLink (Realtek 8139)
all 3 were detected during the setup, but only the 3c905 showed up correctly in the interfaces-list. both others were listed as 'unknown manufacturer', and the OvisLink wasn't working at all... (no irq, no mac, no nothing). swapped the OvisLink for an 3c905B-TX-NM and now it works. (the new NIC was found without the need to re-install / 'low-level' adding driver-module... is this new, or just the 'another 3c-effect?)
regards & keep good work!
