The new 3com card 3c996-t looks as though it may have an issue and before I write a defect or have someone look at the source code, I wanted to post and see if anyone else has seen the problem. We have the new 3com card install in a IBM Netfinity 7100 8-way machine. When we perform a reboot or a 'shutdown -r now' the card will NOT come back online. We have it configured as eth1 and attempt to start it manually after the reboot but are informed that the device does not exist. However, if we power cycle,shutdown -h now, the machine the card comes back online and we can see it with ifconfig. We have a number of other GB ethernet cards from other verndors and do not see the problem in those. Has anyone else seen this problem with this card? Did you resolve it? -- Paul Edgar Verification Engineer Linux Technology Center / IBM External 512.838.1493 / TieLine 678-1493 jedgar@inetport.com No trees were destroyed in the sending of this message, however, a significant number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
