I have no problems using the Becker 'vortex' driver with my tornado 
(3c905C).  However, the drivers with support for the 905C were not included 
with the 2.0.36 and below kernel sources.  The sources for the 2.2.x (at 
least >2.2.10) kernels *do* support the 905C (and by inference the 905B).

Of course, disclaimers apply - I haven't used the driver for two cards, 
only one.
