Dear list users,
1 x ne2k-pci 1 x 3c59x 1 x 3c90x
1. The 3c905C-TX card does not run with 3c90x module. 2. Starting 3c59x module it recognizes both 3Com Cards as 3c59x and starts them. 3. Into Yast configuration I put eth0 = 3c59x, eth1 = ne2k-pci while the 3c90x is built into pci slot but not loaded. When restarting the network daemon linux sees eth0=3c59x and eth1=3c59x while ne2k-pci is not loaded.
We had the same problem, the automatically selected module is the wrong one, and this failure came with 7.1. Be sure to select the 3Com 3c90x/3c980 B/C series device module for your 3c905C ethernet board. Hope this helps, -- Denis
