>Description:
I have a 3C900B card that has a subtly different device ID than the 900B that is supported by the xl driver.  I found that I could make it work by adding an entry for it and making it behave like the 0x9005 card, but I can't see how to submit my change for consideration.

I changed if_xlreg.h (one line added)
and also some changes to if_xl.c

It now works.
 How may I submit my additions to help you work on more hardware?

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:

add my changes to treat this 0x9006 device the same as the 0x9005 device.  It is working dandy so far.

State-Changed-Why:  

Before I update the driver, could you please tell me exactly which kind 
of 3c905B board this is? In other words, what does it say on the box: 
is it a twisted pair only (RJ45 jack only), combo (RJ45, BNC and AUI) 
or something new (like maybe RJ45 and BNC only). I find it hard to 
believe that it's just an alternate ID for an existing board; changing 
the ID gratuitously seems silly.

State-Changed-Why:  

Okay: I updated the driver in -current and -stable to recognize the new 
device as the 3c900B-TPC (twisted pair and coax). The 3c905B-COMBO and 
3cSOHO100-TX are now also supported as well.
