I have a friend running RC2 with a DFE-670TXD, and it's not locking up, but we can't get the network working either. We found out that the xircom_cb module loads (tulip doesn't, it's non-pcmcia, and xircom_tulip_cb doesn't), and we put that in modules.conf, and set up /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 by hand since none of the drakey tools would do it, and service network start shows eth0 OK, but it still doesn't work, there's no route for it and stuff.
