Nicht. The 3C905 is very definitely PCI. There are 3 revs of the card, at
least: 3C905, 3C905B, and 3C905C. The original and the B version will run
off the 3C59x driver, or rather nominally off the 3C59x driver. If you
read the HOWTO, Don Becker's comments, etc. the 3C59x is 'supported' with
the original Rev only. For B and C variants it is imperative that the 3COM
driver, the 3C90x driver, be used. If you go to www.3COM.com and search
for Linux the driver page should show up; download the latest version which
at last check as 1.0.0i. In the package are scripts to compile the
module. Compile, install into the modules directory, make sure that the
conf.modules has the following line:
alias eth0 3c90x
and reboot. That should work.
