Yes, it works well in -current. 


The 3c595 worked fine in early 1.2 and in 1.2.1, too, so the 3c905
should work in 1.2.1.  The NetBSD driver treats the 3c905 and the
3c595 identically, so it really should work in 1.2.1.

If the driver printed out the MAC address, then the driver really
should work.  You just have to configure the media speed via the 3Com
DOS utility: the link[012] switches don't work on the 3c59x/3c90x
generation, and 1.2.1 doesn't have the if_media extensions.


It's attached as ep1, not ep0, because the GENERIC "ep0 at isa" line
ties down ep0, and causes "ep* at pci" and "ep* at eisa" start at ep1
and work upwards.
