In this case it was a 2.6.11.11, but I think it worked fine using 2.6.8 too.
lspci tells me
0000:02:05.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c940 10/100/1000Base-T
[Marvell] (rev 12)
on an ASUS board. Do you see the dmesg-output I mentioned earlier? Or do you see
eth0: 3Com Gigabit LOM (3C940)
PrefPort:A RlmtMode:Check Link State
? If you do see that, but not the output posted before, the kernel is most
likely trying to send DHCP requests to some firewire port...
HTH,
