I suspect that the only changes we'll need are the same changes that
Seph made, namely changing the 3c905C to use the 3c90x driver. I
suspect that you just need to change the pcitable that gets installed
on the install server in .../RedHat/instimage/modules to match the
changes made in the install disk. Another problem is that the
modules.cgz sitting on the install server does not contain the 3c90x
driver either. (See what I meant by having too many dependencies? :)
Yet another problem is that the installed version of kudzu will still
consider the 905C to use the 59x driver -- short of changing the kudzu
package, I'm not sure how to fix _that_ problem.
