etherelnk3.c supports the various busmastering modes,
backing off where required from various bugs (eg, in the 595).
i've only tried (buggy) 595 and 3c905 XL,
in both 10 and 100 modes.
i haven't got any 905Bs.
thus booting wasn't a problem, although b.com's driver does need
the change posted here ages ago to set the right
receive threshold value (something like that),
and i might have had to twiddle the media selection
(i certainly made both changes to the file server's driver).
i think the pnic ended up being faster (same machine
and environment) in the trivial test i ran when
i exchanged cards in my home machine.
