I'm not sure about the 3c905B, but I have a 3c905C working here. I
know that I needed to enable exphy* in the kernel before I was able to
do 100baseT. I don't remember what sorts of messages I got in dmesg
before then, but I know there was something.

If I'm not mistaken, though, the driver is not working at all. In that
case, I'm not sure I can help. However, it looks like your card should
be supported [1].

However, I am pretty sure that you don't need to do anything in OFW.
