did they give a reason for not using the 3c905 cards. I am using 5 of these
right now in 2 different machines with no problems but if it is not a good
idea to use these, what should I use in the next set of Linux machines that I
setup. One thing though, to make those 3c905 cards work, I did have to get a
newer 3c59x.c driver file than the one that came with the kernel source that I
used, (v2.0.30)
