Bug#270451: 3com 3c905x dhcp not working in kernel 2.6.x on d ebian sarge
The title of the file is the kernel version each was from. Yes the kernel
sees the card in 2.6.8, but it will not assign an ip to it from the dhcp
server. I am using the standard dhcp client that installs from the sarge
distribution cd's. oh I am using SMP kernel too, if that makes any
difference.
I tried to use the debian installer rc1 to install to a new hard drive, but
it will stop at trying to obtain a dhcp ip address also when I tell it to
use the 2.6 kernel, it will work fine when using the default 2.4 kernel.

ps. sorry I dropped the bug number, sending again.

the dmesg you sent doesn't show the kernel version you are using.
anyway both kernels recognize your network card, see below
-- snipp 2.4
3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html
..
eth1: Dropping NETIF_F_SG since no checksum feature.
-- snipp 2.6
