3c59x problems on all 2.4 Kernels?

I am using a 3Com 905C Tornado Vortex Driver and the official 2.4.0, and the driver does not start up. I think I had the same problem with this driver in the 2.2 kernel, which forced me to use 3com's 3c90x, which is not available for 2.4. Below are the specs:

Sorry for not including more, info but I am leaving for home in like 30min ;)

This was what 'Messages' gave me:

Presumably this is a new NIC? Marked 3c905CX?

Could you please test the driver at
