SUSE ships with the 3c59x driver (no big surprise, it's in the kernel baseline), and this works with all 3C90X cards I've ever used (Boomerang and Tornado series) with SUSE Linux. SUSE Linux has no problems either with configuring this card through YaST's LAN module, and the process is described in detail, with screenshots, in the administration manual (chapter 22.4). -- Matthias Andree
