One event that for some reason I didn't associate with the NIC before was a
problem that I stumbled across with mdk 7.1. What happened is that I tried to
get an IBM-DTLA-307045 to work with optimized settings with a BE6-II m/b. When
I put the optimized configs inside of rc.local the machine
My brother has a 3c905B and I have a 3c905C. We are both using the
3C59x driver that mdk 7.2 auto selects and neither of us have had any
problems in 100baseTX full duplex mode under mdk 7.2.
My brother did once have a problem with very slow x-fer rates under an
earlier version of Mandrake when
I too have the 3c905C. My problem is not that it doesn't work, it does
(after a fashion). The problem I have is that during bootup, when dhcpcd
sets out to acquire an IP for my computer, it takes FOREVER. It eventually
gets around to it and bootup continues and my connection is fine (and
I have a 3com 3C905-TX network card. I
can`t get the network interface to
come up. It fails at bootup every time.
Is this a Driver issue? Or is my
network setup wrong? Diskdrake
automatically set it up to a 3C59X card
and
I set it to a 3c905 card. Either way it
di not work.
Thanx

I would Like to thank everyone for their help. This might be a networking
bug with Mandrake 7.2.
When I ran netconf there was no 3c90x.o module available. When I went to my
modules directory, it was there. So I just did the following:
/etc/init.d/network stop
rmmod 3c509.o
insmod 3c90x.o
