Someone on the fedora-list has the same problem. Something to do with kudzu
I think. Look in that list instead of this test-list. Sorry I couldn't be
of more help.

basically the cards lock up when kudzu is run during the boot process
and the machine has to be power-cycled to get them back into a working
condition. It seems to be limited to the 905, the B's and C's seem to
work fine, also the 905's themselves seem to work fine with the 2.6 kernel.
I've kind of worked round the problem, my work has just thrown out a
bunch of PC's with 905b's in them and I retrieved the cards from the
dustbin,

AFAICR they're not very high performance cards either.
