I knew these cards are supported, which is why I picked them. FWIW,

I've had similar struggles in the past with both branded as well as noname ethernet-cards.
Have you already tried to disable acpi through BIOS?
If everything fails it's obvious that the card is defect.
I'm using a different 905 model without problems at this computer.
