The network cards based on the 3Com 3c920 are not correctly supported under BeOS.
The ec9xx driver claims to manage this cards but in fact the network doesn't work.
My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 8200 with a 3c920 based network card so I wrote this driver to use BeOS on my computer.
Vendor and device identifiers supported by this driver are presented below. I may add more if needed.
