Hopefully this is being sent to the proper group.  Upgrading to the 2.6.13-rc4
(and rc3) kernels showed a failure in the 3c59x driver (compared to my previous
running kernel of 2.6.11.11).

Module loads fine, see log entry below:

 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:08.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
Aug  2 11:31:05 shrapnel 3c59x: Donald Becker and others.

Aug  2 11:31:05 shrapnel 0000:02:08.0: 3Com PCI 3c905C Tornado at 0x2800. Vers
LK1.1.19

but DHCP fails with the following messages in the system log:

Aug  2 11:31:09 shrapnel dhcpcd[9970]: dhcpStart: interface eth0 is not
Ethernet or 802.2 Token Ring

The interface can NOT even be ifconfig'd (ifconfig works  but traffic goes
nowhere) and have it function.  It shows up as "UNSPECIFIED" (instead of
"Ethernet") as in the working 2.6.11.11 kernel

lspci output of the ethernet device:
