Mmm, I am quit used to install, 3com NICs and I humbly think you mixed 509 with 905, there is nothing in the description of the 3c509 that says it should work with a 3c905. The 3c509(B/TX) are old 10Mb ISA NICs, while you wher looking for the 3c905B a 10/100 PCI NIC. The description of the 3c59x (your driver) talks somewhere of "newer" drivers, which includes the 3c59x and the 3c9xx (not cited, this is a real problem). Michel.
