Well, I just discovered that I shot myself in the foot!  I had
replaced the 3C905 with a 3C905B, which obviously isn't supported
yet.

So I guess my question should now be modified to: anyone have a
quick patch to the 3Com code to support the 905B?  Is it as simple
as detecting the new PCI ID number?

Sorry, and thanks!
