This is a 2940U2W, based on the AIC7895 chip, which is significantly
different from a 2940UW, which is based on the AIC7880 chip. You'll need
the patches from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/cam and the boot
floppies from http://www.freebsd.org/~abial/cam-boot.

The 905 yes, the 905B no.  However, there is a driver you can add to the
system at http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/3Com/.

You have just too new hardware. :)
