[debian-knoppix] 3Com 3c556B not working in Knoppix 3.4




Hi,

I posted this information on the forum without any response.
The network card in my IBM Thinkpad A21m is a 3Com 556B mini PCI combo card (ethernet & modem). I have no interest in the modem side... (dumb winmodem) but the ethernet adapter worked OK in Knoppix 3.2 & 3.3. I checked the 3c59x.o driver's file size and it is the same in 3.3 and 3.4 so I'm guessing that it hasn't changed. Something has however as it is detected differently. Here is the output of lspci -v from the laptop under 3.3 and 3.4.
Does anyone have any idea what changed to cause this to fail?

Knoppix 3.3 initialises the card correctly (3Com Corporation 3c556B Hurricane CardBus) and I get an IP address from the dhcp server. However the card is not detected correctly in Knoppix 3.4 (3Com Corporation 3c556B CardBus [Tornado]). This results in a MAC address of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.

Thanks in advance.
Dallas
