Hello,

As mentioned in the subject, the kernel doesn't work with a 3Com 3c905
card. Here's what's shown on the screen and in the logs on both startup and
in intervals during normal system run:

NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e601.
diagnostics: net 0cc0 media 8802 dma 0000003b fifo 0000
eth0: Interrupt posted but not delivered -- IRQ blocked by another device?
Flags; bus-master 1, dirty 240(0) current 240(0)
Transmit list 00000000 vs. efce2200.

eth0: Resetting the Tx ring pointer.

All the earlier -mm kernels worked fine in this regard,
