As you wrote: "...just to make sure..." ;-))

FYI: With a 3c905:
modprobe 3c59x options=0x8
rmmod 3c59x
modprobe 3c59x options=0x6 doesn't work anyway until I reboot the linux
box.

Ok.

Yes it work when I remove the module options.

modprobe 3c59x options=0x6,0x6,0x8 (the linux box contains 3 NICs, two
3C905 and one 3C905B) sometimes I get this error when I switch the eth0
cable from a 10MBit/s HUB to a cross cable (to connect directly to
another system 100MBit/s FD):
