3c905B support ??

[Peter Collins]

I had similar problems and tried to update the module with
redhat 5.1 without success. But I just installed redhat 5.2
and that works fine with the 3c905B on a Dell XPS 450. I don't
know what Redhat did differently in 5.2 yet compared to my update.
Redhat 5.2 uses the 2.0.36 kernel and reports that it loads
the v0.99E 3c59x.c
