I've seen this same behaviour with a 3c905-TX. I have the same problem with a VIA Rhine VT6102
on an Athlon 64 laptop. Static IP works fine.
When I try to bring up with DHCP I get the following
error message.
>> ifup eth0:1
Determining IP information for eth0:1...SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign
requested address
SCIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
failed.
The ifcfg-eth0:1 script was generated by redhat-config-network
Actually, in all my machines it matters not if it's DHCP. You'd always get a "PCI bus master error" which actually suggested a bad media setting in the driver FAQ. Funny, since it's on autodetect and the switch seems perfectly happy with 100M setup. Worked on RedHat 7.3 and 9 flawlessly. Moving the service network to 00 priority (started before anything else) solved all my problems. I tried with 2 kernels, one I've been using for 6(?) months (2.4.20) and Fedora (2.4.22-something). No difference. So, suspects are: microcode update, kudzu and iptables. Can't confirm which. In the other machine it was enough to postpone the microcode update, in the other one that wasn't enough. Machines: Athlon 1800 + ASUS A7V333, 3Com 905B-TX, Adaptec 2940, Hauppauge BT848 card, CMI PCI Audio, Radeon 7500, static network config Duron 800 + Abit (VIA62C686B), 3Com 905B-TX, ES1370 AudioPCI, Roland SCC-1, 3dfx Voodoo 3, network using DHCP Have tried this on Fedora Core 1, fresh install from a CD, and using the 3COM 3C905B-TX and the card gets a DHCP IP address with no problems whatsoever. This happens during boot-up, and there is no network problem. Hardware is a Cel 1.7GHz, with a Gigabyte GA-81845GV (having the Intel 845GV chipset). Looks like NOTABUG. Probably a kernel driver problem. Arjan ideas? The problem is using an pseudo-interface like 'eth0:1' - DHCP cannot be used to configure such interfaces - they have the same ethernet address as the real card. Using a real interface (eth0) should be no problem.

Change the IP address to Static and it comes right up. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Fedora on a system with a 3C905B-tx 2.Select DHCP 3.Start network, no DHCP address given. 4. Change to Static 5. Restart network, bingo, you're online. Additional info:
