Off the top of my head I recall alot of work done on that
driver in the past six months or so. I'll take a stab that
Caldera is shipping an older kernel (less then 2.0.30).
I would get 2.0.33 and recomplie; it has the latest version
of the 3c905 driver in it from D Becker.
I think there are also options for FDX/HDX and 10/100 in
that card family driver code. If the card is identified
during boot, try plugging it to to a 10mb segment, does
traffic flow? Are theere LEDs on the card showing FDX/HDX
status?
Anyway, some random thoughts.
