If it is truly an SB-16 compatible then it's a matter of adding a handful of lines to scan the PCI bus for the card to make it work. But it can't really be compatible because the DMA must be completely different. The 3Com driver in the distribution requires some small fixes to work with the 905C, Jean Mehat has them.
