Known Problems and Limitations

3C905B cards in a Compaq ProLiant 6500 can fail to generate interrupts. There is no

known workaround for this problem. However, since some slots appear to be more

prone to the problem than others, moving the card to another PCI slot might help.

Also, successive reboots of the machine have succeeded in getting the card out of the

wedged state.
