The 3C905B-TX has a different chipset on it than the 3C905-TX
does, consequently making 4.2 and 5.0's drivers both incompatible. I
haven't tried 5.1 yet, so I have no idea if it has the new driver or not.
Anyhow, you can still get the card working by getting Donald Becker's
newest 3c59x.c driver from http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/.
PS.: Did you miss the almost month-long discussion about this card
earlier? :)
