Problems with VLAN and 3com card



Our network was recently changed to a cicso-based vlan system.  I am not
a
network export, so I can't give many details here).  Since the upgrade,
the
Debian (stable/testing) machine on my desktop has had intermitent
problems
with the network.  Our network admin tells me that there is a known
problem
with 3com network cards.  Tthe machine in question is a three year old
gateway
pc with a 3c905B card in it (built in, although not on the mother
board).
Sometimes I get frequent transmit timed out errors and sometimes I
don't.
When I put in a linksys LNE100TX card, I get similar problems.

Is there anyone out there who has seen such a problem  who can give me a

hint on where to go with this?  Our linux admins primarilly support
redhat,
and, while they haven't suggested it yet, I'm afraid they'll  eventally
suggest
that I drop Debian and go that route if I want support.  And I don't
want to
do that!

Mike
