Do you have somebody with Cisco-experience around? If so, you can try to see
if Cish works. http://www.tarball.net/cish/

I know for a fact that Cish works with 905C-cards. Cish was build by a
former collegue, and does more or less the same as LRP (is built on its
foundations, even). Its main feature is cisco IOS-compatible syntax, because
both he and I prefer IOS over UNIX-style configs.

Short example cisco IOS style config:

cable-masq# configure terminal
configure$ interface ethernet 0
interface% ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
interface% no shutdown
interface% ^D
configure$ interface ethernet 1
interface% ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.254.0
interface% no shutdown
interface% ^D
configure$ ^D

Your ethernet devices have now been configured. You can look at the
status of the interfaces by using the show interfaces command:

cable-masq# show interfaces ethernet

A child can go only so far in life without potty training.  It is not
mere coincidence that six of the last seven presidents were potty
trained, not to mention nearly half of the nation's state legislators.
