I'm reporting a problem with Ubuntu's 6.10 LTSP 5 and a specific make of
Linksys Network card:

LNE 100 TX v5.1

I've used the Etherboot 5.2.2-LC82c115 to boot these cards in the LTSP
4.1 and 4.2 systems just fine.

Under LTSP 5 I'm getting a pause between 2 and 4 minutes right after
these lines:

   Amtek Comet rev 17  IRQ 11
   eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII#1
   Link Partner Capability of 41e1

The Ethernet cables are good.
I've swapped out NICs replacing the Linksys with an Intel 100 EEPro with
a corresponding Etherboot floppy  and these only wait about 2 seconds at
the same point in the bootup procedure.

I should note that once these Linksys cards eventually get past this
point in the bootup procedure, they work fine.  I just ran an ifconfig
on the eth0 device and the only clues of something wrong are:

TX frames  699009  Errors=2   Carrier=4
Otherwise everything looks good.

I had bought 20 of these NICs in the past specifically so I wouldn't
have to make up so many different Etherboot images for various machines
around the office.

I'd be glad to ship one to someone who works on this issue.
