My friend was having a problem with a 3com 3c905C-TXM which is the same
card I have and mine was working just fine. I came to the conclusion
that the interrupt handler on the card was fried. Basically it was
sharing an interrupt with the sound card and when ever the sound card
was used, the network card would die and he would have to restart to get
it back. I moved the sound card to a different interrupt and the
network card has worked fine ever since. Now my card is also on a
shared interrupt, so Im just assuming the card was defective(he got it
used). Maybe you are having a similar problem with a defective card.
