Are you also running Windows on the same hardware (dual boot) ? Some 
of the drivers quietly modify the EEPROM on the card.

Could you please post the output of lspci run as root ?
Could you disable kudzu (chkconfig kudzu off) and reboot ? There are 
some known interactions between kudzu and the 3C905 cards. In this 
case, look in /var/log/messages for lines coming from the 3c59x driver 
which should detect both cards. If this looks fine, you can try to use 
redhat-config-network to delete the wrong entry and create a new one.
