Re: 3com 905c
Hi!
The thing is that I've never switched any hardware and the kernel is the same.
I didnt have these errors before.
However,
/proc/pci >>
Bus 0, device 11, function 0:
Ethernet controller: 3Com 3C905B 100bTX (rev 48).
Medium devsel. IRQ 9. Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=10.Max
Lat=10. I/O at 0x6100 [0x6101].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe0000000 [0xe0000000].
Bus 0, device 13, function 0:
Ethernet controller: 3Com 3C905 100bTX (rev 0).
Medium devsel. IRQ 10. Master Capable.
Latency=32. Min Gnt=3.Max Lat=8. I/O at 0x6200 [0x6201].
