3COM NIC Card somehow stuck in half-on mode?
Hello, I have a 3Com 3C905TX Ethernet card that suddenly refuses to work normally. I have tried turning off autonegotiate and specifying the various media options in ifconfig but no joy. And of course the situation has survived many reboots. The card is specified in rc.conf properly, and it shows up in dmesg, but it is not showing up with an IP address in ifconfig. Any ideas? Is there any way to debug the connection between the PCI bus and the card? It seems to be sensing when it is plugged in to a 10BaseT or 100BaseT Ethernet, so I don't think it's dead..

They should be. I have used the same card in 4.9 stable and 5.2.1 release.
