Solution: 3COM 3C905-TX drivers for Vista

[Actionguy]

I have recently installed Windows Vista on my pc and since then it is not able to install or find any drivers for the 3COM 3C905-TX network adapter that i have on my computer. I tried searching for the drivers on the net and it seems that there are no driver for it yet available and many people are also searching for the same. I even tried to search the drivers on the 3com website but they have an old driver which is incompatible with Vista. So is there anyone who can find a proper driver for this network adapter? Thanks

3com website is now taken over by HP it seems. So, I guess there is no way to get drivers from the same website. But someone on other discussion board suggested that we should search for the 3c90x1.exe file which can be found on many website. It is the same file that is required for the installation of this network adapter. It supports different driver models for:
