Unfortunately different revisions of the 3C905C can be quite
different. The relatively recent 3C905CX-TX-M would not work with
kernels up to and including 2.2.18 without patching the 3c59x module,
whereas the 3C905CX-TXM was OK. Despite the similarity on paper, they
look quite different side-by-side.

I believe that kernel 2.2.19, and recent 2.4 kernels have an updated
3c59x module, but have not checked myself that it works. How you get a
newer kernel onto your machine without a working network card is left
as an exercise...
