Bug#514131: [linux-image-2.6.26-1-686]: network card 3ccfem656b (3c59x.ko) doesn't work
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686
Version: 2.6.26-12
Environment:
- Dell Latitude 8100
- 3Com 3CCFEM656B
- Debian 2.6 (Lenny)
After inserting the network card (3CCFEM656B) the module 3c59x.ko is loaded.
Nevertheless, the following entries in /var/log/syslog appear:

Also, while the real mac address starts with 00:50:DA:... the mac address reported by udev and ifconfig is usually one out of the following:
00:0a:00:50:16:3f
00:0a:00:50:2c:7f
00:14:00:50:16:3f
00:14:00:50:2c:7f
00:09:76:ab:da:ad (only seen once)
The according interface looks ok (e.g. ifconfig eth1) but an attempt to ping a node on the network will either result in a system lookup or the appearance of the following entries in /var/log/syslog:

Everything works fine if, instead of the Debian system on the hdd, an Ubuntu live-cd (2.6.27) or a system rescue cd (2.6.18.6) is used on the notebook.
