Quite sure. The 3c905 and 3c590 are both Cyclone-series cores, I
believe that the 905 is called `Vortex', but I'm not sure. In short,
the same instructions work for both cards.

Looks fine to me :). At home, though, I have a Linksys LNE100TX, and it
appears to work just as well as the 3Com here at work ;).
