Wade,
This is an Alpha-Linux list, not Intel.
I looked at my module list in /lib/modules/your_kernel_level/net
and it would seem the smc could be either smc-ultra, smc-ultra32,
or smc9194. Try a modprobe for each module and see what the command
'dmesg' says the probe found. For the 3c905b, it appears the 3c59x
driver is correct. Do the same thing with 'modprobe 3c59x' and see
if dmesg shows it found antything. Once you have the names, you
can use the normal linuxconf stuff to set it up. Also, do a
'rmmod 3c59x' to remove your test module loads before proceeding
with configuration. Also, you might try insmod instead of modprobe.
To see how the commands work do 'man modprobe', 'man rmmod', etc.
