Firstly, it's not a symlink right? I'd take a look into that file. Is
it a shell script? perl script? executable binary? The first two you
should be able to fix. The third ... well good luck. If I were you (I
have a 3C905 in several machines) I'd just use the 3c59x module from the
stock kernels, they work great for me.
