Just a quick question. Would the
3Com 3C905B-TX PCI NIC card be a good choice
for a Plan9 system? Anything better?
The 3C589 doesn't seem to be offered
anymore.

Isn't the 3c589 a PCMCIA card?

The 3C589 is a PCMCIA card, the 3C905B is a PCI card, they're
not really equivalent. The 3C905B will work OK with Plan 9, as
does the 3C589 Megahertz equivalent (sorry, I don't remember the
exact model number).
