Whose fault is this?
I found that the two conflicts.  The symtom is that xstart hangs the 
system.  When I replaced the ethernet card with 3C509, xstart starts the
X windows (XFree86-SVGA-3.2.2) with no problem.
Before "xstart" with 3C905, ping worked fine unlike many others who had
problems with 3C905B TX.

Hardware:
ASUS's LX-chipset Pentium II system
Ensonique Audio PCI
Adaptec 2940UW SCSI
ASUS 3DExplorer with RIVA 128 chipset
3Com 905TX (not 905B)

Software:
Linux 2.0.34pre6 which I made by using the source  which came with
RedHat-5.1
XFree86-SVGA-3.2.2

Thanks a lot.
