I'm not a PCI bios expert, but I think the 3C905 uses "int a", which is set in my bios to point to hardware interrupt 9. I would confirm this, but I'd have to take the system down to look at the bios setup. Here are the boot messages for my card: xl0: <3Com 3c905-TX Fast Etherlink XL> rev 0x00 int a irq 9 on pci0.20.0 xl0: Ethernet address: 00:60:08:04:11:b2 xl0: autoneg complete, link status good (half-duplex, 10Mbps) Hope this helps..
