It's not clear what part of Fedora you are using now. Are you using kudzu 
from Fedora ? It appears to create some problems with 3C905 cards; there 
are some bug reports in Red Hat's Bugzilla, but so far nothing concludent. 
The only "solution" is to disable kudzu...

You can try deactivating kudzu ("chkconfig kudzu off") and run it manually 
only when adding cards.

That's interesting. And after you find these 3 cards that work together 
they will _always_ work even after reboot

My guess is that it's something related to ACPI. GA-7ZXE didn't have 
support it.
