for what its worth, and just to throw a monkey into the wrench... I had a 3c905c for a long time and never had a problem with it... ran from 6.2 (that did require some work) through 7.3.Has anyone ever asked RH about it? Like I said, it seems odd that such a popular card would have a problem.

Subject: Re: System Drops off Network
We have had the same issues with 3COM. Netgear seems to work just fine too!
I would ask this, how are your IPs assigned on this network. Sounds like it could also be a case of the DHCP server having a lease time out, and that particular machine not renewing its lease. which means that the server will, after the timeout period, no longer have a valid IP or will have no IP at all...
We used to get calls a lot from people with cable modems that had the same issues... their connection would drop at certain intervals and never come back up... turns out that hte cable provider assigned all IPs via DHCP, and at somewhere between 3am and 5 am, every subscribers IP lease would be renewed, and in some cases, the client machine would not update itself... and hence, drop the connection.
so waht happens if, after the machine drops off your network, if you do a service network restart???
cheers Jeff
