>Description:
I try to install FreeBSD on my proxy/firewall machine at home. It is a Pentium 100 with ALI chipset. I have a 3COM 3C905B network card. I want to do a network install over FTP from my Linux workstation but when I try to specify the media I get as choices only paralel and serial connections.

The card does not appear at boot (xl0...).

I am using FreeBSD since version 3.2 (but on different machines) and I succesfully installed FreeBSD 4.0 Release Candidate over the network in a machine using the same network board.

The network board is fine since I have installed (and working normally) OpenBSD 2.7 on the same machine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to do a network install using a 3COM 3C905B network card in the client.

There are thousands upon thousands of machines that have this 
card and I've never seen a problem with it. I just installed 
3 myself off of the xl0 driver. 

You might have better luck with questions@freebsd.org, this 
forum is mainly to report specific, reproducable bugs.

 Could you maybe send the output of pciconf or the equivalent tools on
 OpenBSD or Linux, to show which chip-id's the card have?
 Maybe its a smooth variant our code doesn't know yet.
 
 Please send it as reply to freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, using the
 same Subject: line.
 
 Thanks

 On OpenBSD 2.7 I did a search for "*pci* and I have found
 /usr/X11/bin/scanpci
 
 It's output:
