At a certain point I had well over a hundred 905C's in production, and many
would fail to autonegotiate with Cisco switches. Just 'restore to defaults'
and save would fix those problems. 

It would seem that there's a difference in opinion between the drivers and
the cards point of view as to what 'factory defaults' exactly is. :)
