For some time now I have problems with my 3c589d which worked perfectly fine until some weeks ago (when I upgraded the kernel, PCMCIA and installed ppp).
When I insert the card, it does not recognise the media type (10baseT) and the network does not come up --- most of the times.
eth0: 3Com 3c589, io 0x300, irq 3, hw_addr 00:60:08:B3:4B:11 8K FIFO split 5:3 Rx:Tx, auto xcvr Sometimes, the network comes up, but then the card loses the link beat within a few seconds and switches to 10base2.

Specifying IF_PORT="10baseT" in network.opts does not help. The NE2000 compatible Dayna Communiacard adapter works fine. Hooking up the machine directly to the hub does not help. Changing the IRQ does not help. Any ideas on what's going wrong here? Wolfgang Kernel: 2.2.13 PCMCIA: 3.0.8 -- 3.0.14; 3.1.7
