I usually just drop these into the appropriate directory in /usr/src/linux, then recompile the kernel. What you need to do is: 1. find a full linux system with the same kernel version as your LRP disk; 2. replace the .c and .h files in the kernel source (in /usr/src/linux/); 3. recompile the kernel, making sure that the 3c905b is set to compile as a module. 4. Get the resulting .o files (from /lib/modules). These are the kernel modules that can be loaded with insmod.
