There is no driver for the 3x905_B_ in 1.3.3. You either have to
wait 2 weeks for 1.4 or get a 1.4_BETA snapshot.

You have to edit /etc/rc.conf after you installed the new release
and updated your /etc directory:

auto_ifconfig=NO
net_interfaces="ex0 ex1"
ifconfig_ex0="inet machine1.domain netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_ex1="inet machine2.domain netmask 255.255.255.0"

The new ex driver supports also the older version of the 3c905.

Btw, I think port-i386 or current-users is a better place to ask
about your problem.
