3c905 with new kernels wont load certain web sites...

[Austen McDonald]

	No, its not name resolution.  I can ping "metalab.unc.edu" and a
lot of other sites work fine.  Also, I can get all sites to work when I
use PPP w/ my modem.  That makes me think theres something wrong with the
network card setup/driver.
