Just thought I'd interject that this is far from true... I agree,
the 905TX is a great card, no argument there. But the 905B-TX is just as
good, arguably better. Granted, it takes a little bit more effort to get
working, but not a lot, compared to some things. The only reason it
doesn't work with linux currently is that the latest version of Donald
Becker's driver for it hasn't been included in the kernel. If you download
it and compile it in manually, it works like a charm, 10MBit or 100.
