I have to disagree with Bob on this issue. I had a 3c905 a while back and at that time the kernel driver (v0.40) had serious problems but mostly when run on 10Mbit. Now that the 2.0 kernel series ships version 0.46 I have yet to run into a 3c905 related problem. And my machine is filleserver (samba), databse server (two instances of Oracle), web proxy (squid) and nameserver (bind). Lot's of traffic and it works like a charm.
