3Com 10/100 Ethernet Mini-PCI Adapter with 56K Modem

This is a Mini-PCI combination Ethernet and Modem Adapter that is installed in a Mini-PCI slot.

Ethernet Features

  • Chipset: 3Com 3c556b
  • PCI ID: 10b7:6056 or 10b7:6055
  • Speeds: Full-duplex 10/100

Modem Features

  • Chipset: 3Com or Lucent
  • PCI ID: 10b7:1007 (for 3Com)
  • Speeds: 56 Kbps with V.90

Part numbers

  • 22P6444, 06P3829, 00N8117, 22P6753, 22P7594, 09N9774

Firmware

A 'Boot Agent' (PXE boot) firmware update for this adapter is available from IBM. The updated version is 4.32 and is available here.

Linux Ethernet driver

This card will work with the standard '3c59x' Linux driver as part of any recent 2.4 or 2.6 kernel
This card doesn't work "out of the box" with 2.6 kernels before 2.6.14-rc1 when using ACPI. See the problem page for detailed information.

Linux Modem driver

Bugs/Caveats

  • The 3Com driver does not support power management. See Andrew Morton's e-mail to the LKML on the subject. As a workaround, remove the 3c59x module before suspending the machine. However, the kernel documentation (vortex.txt) refers to the "enable_wol" parameter enabling Wake-on-LAN and "power management support", unsure if this is relevant
