I currently have a 3c509 card in my FreeBSD 2.2.2 box. I didn't
realize until recently that the 3c905 is supported. I've wanted to put
one in for a while...

In any case, is it the same driver as the 509? How easy is it going to
be to swap them out? The server needs to stay online, so I can't just
experiment with it.

Please email brent@vivid.net with comments/suggestions.

Thanks!
Brent
