I had the same problems with a 3Com 905C-TX because 3Com had done some hardware upgrades and forgotten to document them clearly. This was fixed in kernel 2.2.18, so if you have a 905C-TX and a potato system (that's 2.2.17, right?) you might try upgrading your kernel. Mart -- 'Quoth the mailserver: 554!'
