This seems to be a known problem with the driver. Take a look here: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg78894.html
I couldn't tell if disabling ACPI will prevent this from happening or not. I don't care to have a go at compiling my own modules. I can simply cold boot for now, and wait for the patch.
It seems to be a hit and miss thing. For some people, disabling ACPI works... and for others it doesn't help. It's been reported also over in the RedHat camp: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158725 and in a Debian thread I found here: http://www.mail-archive.com/rtnet-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00474.html I also found some stuff with Ubuntu, but... it's more of the same. Basically... if you don't wanna tinker with the manual patch... :-) (and I can understand that) you are stuck waiting for a public patch release. Enough people are running into this that I can't imagine it being too much longer before it shows up in YaST or APT... especially given the popularity of the 3COM 3c50x NICs. C.
