Hello. I recently upgraded to 2.4.7 and immediately had problems with networking not working at all. Have had no problems in 2.4.5 and before. I'm using a switch and am supposed to be operating at full duplex. Again, It's worked perfectly in other kernels. Reverting back allows the device to be configured properly. Heres my config: lspci -vx: 00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX [Fast Etherlink] (rev 30) Subsystem: 3Com Corporation 3C905C-TX Fast Etherlink for PC Management NIC Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11 I/O ports at dc00 [disabled] [size=128] [virtual] Memory at e5000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=128] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2 00: b7 10 00 92 00 00 10 02 30 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 10: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 b7 10 00 10 30: 00 00 00 00 dc 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 0a 0a And a snapshot of dmesg: See Documentation/networking/vortex.txt 00:0b.0: 3Com PCI 3c905C Tornado at 0xdc00, 00:01:02:c1:57:62, IRQ 11 product code 4551 rev 00.12 date 08-14-00 8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/Autonegotiate interface.

The only module parameters I'm using is: enable_wol=1 Let me know if there's any additional information needed, or any thing you would like me to try.
