Hi ,
   Presently i am using 2.2.16 kernel, my network card is from 3com 
(3c90x series) which is well supported by linux and it is perfectly 
working under 2.2.16 kernel.

i don't know the reason, it does not work in 2.4 kernels, though drivers 
are present
i have tried with 2.4.0 , 2.4.1, 2.4.2,  

here is the out put of dmesg(with 2.4.2 kernel), and i didn't find any 
thing wrong here..
