I've got a minor problem with 2.3.99-pre6 and my 3Com 3C905 (not
905B or 905C) NIC. I've had no problem with 2.3.99-pre5.
The driver is built into the kernel on an i686 box that, except for
the kernel, is pure RedHat v6.2. This is the recognition of the NIC
at boot time:

eth0: Resetting the Tx ring pointer.
The NIC has apparently been working fine for the last 24 hours. So
far it seems that the problem is limited to this single error at boot
time. FYI.
Thank you.
