I'm currently using a 3c905 (rev b, combo version) with fedora without
any problems. I'm wondering what "headaches" it's causing you.
see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98767
basically the cards lock up when kudzu is run during the boot process
and the machine has to be power-cycled to get them back into a working
condition. It seems to be limited to the 905, the B's and C's seem to
work fine, also the 905's themselves seem to work fine with the 2.6 kernel.
I've kind of worked round the problem, my work has just thrown out a
bunch of PC's with 905b's in them and I retrieved the cards from the
dustbin,
The Realtek cards are ok, but a bit broken by design (the driver
works
around that, but don't be surprised when your logs show "hanging
transceiver reset" or other vague messages.
AFAICR they're not very high performance cards either.
I've had no problems with
Intel and Digital cards.
