Nope, and I didn't compile as a module. Here is the kernel message for
detecting them:

eth0: 3Com 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at 0xb800,  00:50:da:bf:d0:a8, IRQ 10
  8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/Autonegotiate interface.
  MII transceiver found at address 24, status 786d.
  MII transceiver found at address 0, status 786d.
  Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives.
eth0: Overriding PCI latency timer (CFLT) setting of 0, new value is 32.
eth1: 3Com 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at 0xb400,  00:50:da:bf:ce:c6, IRQ 11
  8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/Autonegotiate interface.

You see, there might be a difference in the sub-models.
