3C905-TX card/driver problem

I am running Debian Linux 2.0.34 and have a 3C905-TX card.  I was not
able to get things to work at all (not even a link light) with the
driver that came on the distribution CD dated 6/98.  I downloaded the
latest?  11/98 driver and was able to get a link light, and see the net,

but only if I programmed the eprom for 10Mb and connected it to a 10Mb
only hub.  In addition, it would not see the net after reboots unless I
momentarily disconnected the cable, and reconnected it.  I gave up for
now (spent too much time on it), and put in an NE2000 compatible which
works fine.  But would really like to use my 100Mb 3Com.

Thanks in advance for any insight.
