There are a few things you could try: - Compile a kernel where you don't add your ethernetcard as a module. - Compile a kernel where you select 'Set kernel version on all modules' (or something like that, when using make menuconfig it's in the same menu as 'Enable modules'). - Make sure you did both 'make modules' and 'make modules_install' - What does modprobe 3905x say??
