    I am stuck with my 2.4.16 with the preempt patch.
    It is damn' stable and quick so why should I change for a test kernel ?

    Similar numbers, totally different card.

    Depends on your definition of "totally different". (:

    The 905 is a PCI 10/100 card, the 590 is an ISA 10 MBit card.

    No, the 509 is an ISA 10MBit card. Specifically we have:
    3c509 - ISA 10Mbps - classic "Etherlink III"
    3c509B - ISA 10Mbps - PnP version of 509 3c515 - ISA 10/100 - rare
    3c529 - MCA 10Mbps - similar to 509
    3c579 - EISA 10Mbps - similar to 509
    3c590 - PCI 10Mbps - "Etherlink III PCI"
    3c595 - PCI 10/100 - similar to 590
    3c900 - PCI 10Mbps - "Etherlink XL PCI" - similar to 590
    3c905 - PCI 10/100 - similar to 595
    3c905B, 905C, 920, 980, etc - evolutionary changes to 905

    Linux uses three drivers for all of the above: 3c509.c (also covers the 529 and 579), 3c515.c, and 3c59x.c (covers all the rest).
