Ciao Stefano:

I had the same problem. It looked like it was going to work with RedHat
5.0 right out of the box, but....

The fix, for me at least, was to compile and load the latest version of
the thx 3c59x driver (which oddly enough is the one used for the 3c905b
card).

I have enclosed a copy of the source that I used but it is from:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html

What you need to do is compile it (The compile command line is located
in the comments at the end of the 3c59x.c file) and replace the existing
version of 3c59x.o (probably located in  lib/mod/[version number]/net --
the [version number] is 2.0.34-0.6 for the Redhat 5.0 release (i think) 
). After this restart your computer and everything should be fine

Good Luck 
-Eric
