The 3Com 3c5x9 driver is quiet stable since 2.0.5-RELEASE. If you did not get
"Erased Pencil Mark" message, then every thing should be OK. One thing you need
to be awared is that the AUTO mode (set by 3c5x9cfg utility under DOS) is not
a good choice.  Pick up either AUI or TP whicheven you connected to and save
the
configuration to the adapter.

Has anyone got the 3com 3c509 ethernet adapter working with FreeBSD?  If so,
please tell me the kernel revision and the things I have to do to get it
working.  It seems that the dang ethernet light won't turn on within the
hub, :(.  Thanks....
