From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Epiphany/1.1.12 Description of problem: I cannot get a 3com 3C905TX Fast EtherLink XL PCI ("Boomerang") Card to work on FC2test3. Mainboard is an ECS K7VTA3 V5.0 (with latest BIOS fixing acpi issues). The error occurs in the transmit part, the driver seems unable to send packets. I have run a little test-matrix to isolate the problem. The behavior is identical with "noapic acpi=off", the "Tornado" has been tested in the same PCI slot to exclude IRQ routing issues. RH9/2.4.. Mdk10/2.6.3.4mdk FC2-test3/2.6.5.. 3C905 "Boomerang" Works Works Fails 3C920 "Tornado" untested untested Works Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.5-1.327 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 3C905TX "Fast EtherLink XL PCI" in PCI Slot 2. Boot system to network-up state and try to ping out 3. Look in dmesg for prominent error messages from 3com driver. Actual Results: No network. Error messages in dmesg. Expected Results: Network. No Error messages in dmesg. Additional info: I attach diagnostic outputs from the relevant utilities (dmesg, lspci) both for the non-working ("Boomerang") and working ("Tornado") case.

I've seen the same after installing FC2 on a machine at home that has two 3c905B TX cards (both cards affected). The thing I noticed was that /proc/interrupts didn't show either eth0 or eth1.
Sorry, I seem to have been mistaken about eth0 and eth1 not being listed in /proc/interrupts. (Probably because I was playing about with loading and unloading the modules).
