I ran a shop with all 3c905b's and never had a problem, but here it seems that I've had 2 of these things go bad on me in about 6 months. I had problems similar to what you describe. My web-cache server was using one and we were seeing LOTS of errors on the interface. We moved it around on different switches and cables, but finally ended up replacing the card. We only saw it happen when there was a lot of data. This machine does about 2MByte/s sustained.
