I've got a 3c905, the driver for which is also not included in the
Slackware distribution.  However, I was able to find an updated driver
at http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html.  It's a C file;
believe me, I know!)  I can't remember if what I got supported the 3c900,
you copy it over the source that comes with the distribution, then 
re-compile your kernel.  I've been using it for about a month and haven't
had any problems.

I hope this helps!
