I ran into the same thing but never resolved it. I just went out and bought two DLink $10 cards. I gave up on the 3Coms.

I've had this issue every time I install pfSense using various 1.2 series versions. I think I used to have it with IPCop too. I've tried the cards in various PCI slots. I normally work around it by using two differing 3Com 3C905 variants, or perhaps a 3C900 and a 3C905 I can't recall. Today I'm seeing it whilst using one 3C905B-TX and one 3C905C-TX (I can't remember if I've gotten this particular card combination to work previously). The machine is a HP Vectra VL800, part number P3629AV, has a Pentium 4 CPU. There's no BIOS update available from HP. I've tried installing with and without PCI bus master in BIOS setup for all PCI slots. What's going on here? Is there anything I can do to work around it whilst still using these cards as these types are all I have left in stock? Is there any more info you need in order to help me?
