[vortex] 3c905-c card disrupting router

I have a problem with my 3c905-c cards not playing well with a D-link
DI-704 cable modem router.  I at first thought that it was the specific
card that was messing up in some shape or form.  But today I tried
another card of the same type in a new server Im putting together and it
exhibited the same behavior.  When I plug the first card into the cable
modem router it works like a charm.  I am totally confused about this. 
Now I know it might look as though its the router acting up, but both of
my roommates have 3c905-B cards that work just fine with this router. 
Anyone have any ideas about what is causing this?  

Oh on a related note, the card I just tried today seems to have a
problem with irq sharing.  Is there anything that can be done to cure
this problem besides making sure it doesnt share an irq(this is an older
card).  Thanks
