A couple of problems:
1) I believe that pcitable data needs to me in order -- your
added line is not in the right place.
2) We should verify what the PCI data is for their network
card; It appears there is an entry for the 3c905C-TX at
0x10b7 0x9200 which refers to the 3c59x driver; I don't
know if this should be changed to the 3c90x driver. It's
possible that this "new" card has different PCI info.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Yea, that looks ok.

Indeed.

As I asked before, is there any reason you left out the 3c50[1357]
drivers?
