Sorry I can't diagnose it myself but I'm a Mechanical Engineer with little
C experience. Here's my problem report, written according to the spec laid
out in "linux/REPORTING-BUGS":
[1.] Upon boot, the 2.4.1 kernel misconfigures one of two 3c509b NICs
installed in my computer as "BNC" rather than "10baseT".
[2.] I've got two NICs, both of which are 3c509b, both of which are set to
specific IRQ/IO and have PnP disabled. The first NIC is at IRQ11/0x250,
while the second resides at IRQ5/0x260. The 2.2.18 kernel correctly
identifies both as 10baseT; however, the 2.4.1 kernel identifies the
second as "BNC". It doesn't function correctly, I believe as a result of
this misconfiguration. I've built a 2.4.1 version with -DEL3_DEBUG=9; the
dmesg below is from that kernel.

[5.] No 'oops'. Perhaps dmesg from 2.2.18, dmesg from 2.4.1 would be
useful...
