It's more difficult than that: the 905B needs a different driver than
the previous 9xx and 59x because the 905B doesn't have the PIO interface
any more. This driver is 'ex'. It will also require the new mii layer.
Note that with the new driver you have DMA with all the 3com boards that
can do it :)
