I have this card in my machine. It was installed by the cable company when I
signed up for the road runner service. I have done some investigation in
using this card. I was told by many people that I needed to disable the PnP
feature of the card and it should be recognized by Mandrake. Having the
original install diskette I followed the procedure. Well after it disabled
the PnP feature, the program could not find the card!! Well, it still works
under windows and I bought another card. If you want the original install
diskette, E mail me and I will send it to you in a zip file.

Last week I saw 3C905B drivers for Linux right on the 3COM web site. It
might
be worth downloading them and giving them a try...
