I just tried to install a 3c905 (boomerang) on a machine last night. The
card was working fine on a Windows machine. After installing it on a FC1
machine, the card would not transmit. Look in your /var/log/messages
file. In mine I had:

So did my card, but looking closely, My TX packets and TX bytes were
both zero.

As root, try

	grep -i eth0 /var/log/messages

or:

	dmesg |grep -i eth0


You might also look at:

	http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html

for some good info on the card.

I will try again tonight to get my card working and will let you know
what I find.
