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.
