My brother has a 3c905B and I have a 3c905C. We are both using the
3C59x driver that mdk 7.2 auto selects and neither of us have had any
problems in 100baseTX full duplex mode under mdk 7.2.
My brother did once have a problem with very slow x-fer rates under an
earlier version of Mandrake when he once switched the card from a
100baseTX switched port to a 10baseT port on a hub on the same (logical)
subnet without bringing the machine or even the interface down. To the
best that I could figure it looked as though the card had automatically
switched down to 10baseT, but stayed in full duplex mode.
