I've had this problem recently, too. A 905C card would not be recognized
by 3c90xcfg.exe. I found another 3c90xcfg.exe, which claims to be version
5.0, which works. But I don't remember where I got it from; I think that
the 3Com web page link and the ftp server have different contents.

Thank you! So this supposition was false...
