I'm using a couple of 3c905C in a linux router. Running 2.4.19 without firewalling and with large routing tables on a Duron 750 the box runs about 70% idle with ~60mbps of aggregate traffic and ~10K interrupts/sec. With a flow of smaller packets giving ~50mbps and 15K interrupts/sec it was only ~40% idle. I'm planning to rebuild the driver with rx_copybreak=0 to try to improve the performance with smaller packets. The other thing I'd like to be able to do is rx interrupt mitigation like the Tulip 21143. The driver only seems to support tx interrupt mitigation though. Is there another driver I can use?
