Hi Sir,
I have some trouble using a 3c905B Card with Debian 2.4.12 with your
driver LK1.1.16. It seems as interrupt is hanging (but obviously can not)
The message I get is

eth0: transmit time out, tx_status 00 status e601
   diagnostics: net 0cf2 media 8880 dma 00000003a
   eth0: Interrupt posted but not deliverd -- IRQ blocked by another device?
   
   followd by a transmit-list
   
   
I can ping localhost but the rest doesn't work or works VERY slow with
many timeouts.
With my previous kernel 2.2.18 the card worked wonderful.

Please do you have any solution? Is it a known problem?

Many thanks

Rainer Sigl
