This is the one with the big chip that says BROADCOM on it:

That's a C, my two are CX's. Just noticed that.
I've never seen the card you posted. And that's says a lot, given I've seen THOUSANDS of NIC's in the last 20 years.
Funny note: When I went from the 905B to the 905C, the C's all had the small chips on them. I'm wondering if we didn't get the revision you've posted in Canada. If so, that would explain why I've never seen one.
And your 10Mbit issue is not new to me, I've seen that before. I had a B that developed the same issue. But it worked PERFECTLY in 100Mbit, so I continued to use it in an FTP dump system, hehe
If you look closely at my pictures, you will note that the 509-TPO main chip is an AT&T sourced product.
EDIT: Can you take a better picture of that NIC? What's the date of manufacture on it?
