I just tried to install a 3c905 (boomerang) on a machine last night. The
card was working fine on a Windows machine. After installing it on a FC1
machine, the card would not transmit. Look in your /var/log/messages
file. In mine I had:
Feb 15 23:03:52 sparky kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Feb 15 23:03:52 sparky kernel: eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00

So did my card, but looking closely, My TX packets and TX bytes were
both zero.

As root, try
grep -i eth0 /var/log/messages
or:
dmesg |grep -i eth0
You might also look at:

for some good info on the card.
I will try again tonight to get my card working and will let you know
what I find.
