Dave,

I had Dave's (other Dave's :-) problem with the 905C, the new drivers
fixed it.  I included the 905B in the discussion because that's how the
documentation grouped them.  The documentation at the 3Com site 
(http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/linux/readme.txt) also
mentions some overlap where both drivers will work with the same card,
and they give their recommendation as to which you should use. The 905B
must fall into the overlap range.  

Sorry for any confusion.
