There are two types of 3C905B-TX adapters: the 3C905B-TX
adapter with Remote Wake-Up and the 3C905B-TX-NM
adapter without Remote Wake-Up.
The 3Com
Remote Wake-Up adapter (3C905B-TX), shown in
Figure 1-1, operates as a wake-up adapter only in PCs with
the Remote Wake-Up connector attached to the PC
motherboard. This adapter provides a network connection
with or without the Remote Wake-Up connector installed.
The 3C905B-TX-NM adapter does not have the Remote
Wake-Up connector or functionality.
