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: Feb 15 23:03:52 sparky kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out Feb 15 23:03:52 sparky kernel: eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e000.
