I'm using FreeBSD 3.51 with the 3c905b in question. No problem. The driver it uses is the xl0 device. Also if you remove the MIIBUS device the xl0 will not load. The easiest way is to skip the kernel config in the setup and do a custom kernel config when you have installed your system. If you are only using this netcard I cant see how this could conflict with any other driver. (Sure when booting the Generic kernel you will get alot of error messages, as the kernel probes all hardware it can think of but this isn't a problem.)
