I have a Fedora C1 box that was working correctly from several months.
Yesterday I have rebooted after the upgrade to the new kernel
2.4.22-1.2166.nptl and only after that reboot I have found this sequence of
errors:
2004-02-17 13:39:27 Kernel.Error 195.223.196.13 kernel: eth1: Transmit

The network card is a 3com 3C905TX-B.
I have no idea of how duplex is set harware level but for sure it was never
changed between reboot.
The card is connected to a plain 10Mbps hub so there should be no problem
about auto-negotiation.
Is that a problem with the new kernel?
What should I do? Switch to the old kernel?
Thanks
