really.. I've lost at least six of them.  3Com cards tend to fail when you
move them - ie, move a computer from USA to Japan, 3c509 breaks.  Move a
computer from one side of PHT office to the other, 3c905 breaks.  Boot
windows, boot back into linux, boot windows again, 3c509 breaks in both
OSes (it's hardwired, not Pnp mode..) .. sigh.
