I'm using the 3c905b-tx and the driver is 3c59x.c/o.  I'm pretty sure the
3c905 uses the same driver.  You can get the latest version from Donald
Beckers page: http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html BTW, I
recommend you upgrade your kernel to 2.0.35 as this kernel has the .99E
version of the driver built-in and this is the driver version I use.
