I recently installed a system with the 3c905C
NIC on RedHat 6.2.The freshly installed RedHat 6.2 worked nice
and flawlessly,

However after upgrading
to the 2.2.16 RedHat Kernel RPMS, the DHCP negotiation no longer worked!I downloaded 2.2.18 proper. I compiled in the support for the card, but also: same result.
Have you checked conf.modules that now is modules.conf?
In my case rh had just renamed/aliased the device and as soon as I had adapted modules.conf accordingly, the card worked.
Of course, I might have completely misunderstood the problem, but it sounds a lot like what I saw...
Cheers,
Ingo

Yes I have. By editing it, I was able to test both the 3c59x and the 3c90x drivers. Also the modules were correctly loaded in both testruns, which I confirmed with a lsmod.
On another note: I *was* able to set up the card manually by doing an ifconfig (and it worked that way), but as the firewall adapts dynamically to the DHCP leases, this is not a solution. So only DHCP negotiation was not working, which worked OK with the vanilla RH 6.2 2.2.14 kernel.
