Jonathon,
You and I might have the same problem. I have 2 3COM cards (ISA/PCI) and
1 Tulip card in a single PC and I loose functionality in one 3COM card
using the 2.4.XXXX series; IRQ and IOBASE is wrong. Using stock Redhat
built kernels, they operate fine.

I'm building 2.2.19pre11 to see if things are still working out.
I think I narrowed it down to the ISAPNP code entering the network
drivers...I need to do more testing...

Subject : dual 3c509 cards break from 2.2.17-14 (Redhat versions) to 2.4.x
through 2.4.1-ac11
----- Message Text -----
Stock Redhat 7.x 2.2.16 and 2.2.17 kernels are able to correctly
detect 3c509 cards with this result:
Feb 13 20:14:44 anole kernel: eth1: 3c509 at 0x340 tag 1, 10baseT port,
address 00 10 5a 1c e5 fe, IRQ 7.
Feb 13 20:14:44 anole kernel: eth2: 3c509 at 0x320 tag 2, AUI port,
address 00 20 af 0a 62 0d, IRQ 5.
The printer port on the PC (x86) has been disabled through the BIOS. The
above kernels operate as expected and I can ping and do normal network
traffic.
Any 2.4.x kernel causes both cards to appear on IRQ 5 and renders one of
the cards useless.
Stock unpatched 2.4.0:
Feb 7 19:25:16 anole kernel: eth1: 3c509 at 0x220, 10baseT port, address
00 10 5a 1c e5 fe, IRQ 5.
Feb 7 19:25:16 anole kernel: eth2: 3c509 at 0x320, AUI port, address 00
20 af 0a 62 0d, IRQ 5.
Same result with the recent patched 2.4.1 with ac11. I'll
continue checking other patched versions of the kernel and try
and locate where things might have went awry and post a message; if
someone else doesn't find it first.
>From what I gather, it might have something do ISAPNP stuff.

Subject: Problem: NIC doesn't work anymore, SIOCIFADDR-errors
I've got a problem with my network. I can't get the card running, though it
worked perfectly before. Below what happens and the errors I get:

// This is where I loose the track. These seem to be kernel-messages, but I
can't find them in the kernel-source (looked in the kernel-subdirectory and

There are some other SIOC*-texts, but no SIOCSIFADDR or SIOCIFNETMASK in
those dirs.
The problem appeared after booting, everything worked perfect before.
Nothing has changed that could affect network or ethernet-card, afaik.
It's not hardware-related: the card still works in Win98SE and after placing
another card (same type), the problem still persists.
I did a kernel-recompile, but that hasn't solved it. Still the same error.
I'm running 2.4.0-prerelease.
The card is a PCI-card. It has a Winbond W89C940F-chip on it and the kernel
uses NE2k-drivers, I think.
I did a fsck on my HD, which didn't solve it either.
The light on the card blinks all the time, like there's something wrong. I
haven't looked whether it does so in Windows too.
Ifup / Ifdown version: 0.6.4-3
No messages in /var/log[syslog|messages|kern.log|ksymoops/*] about this.
Anyone who can tell me what's going on here?

2.2.19pre11 works.
Got 2.4.1-ac11 to work with these settings:
# Plug and Play configuration

Oddments: [Can't show you since the machine locked up both times
prior to logging information -- I need to break out the serial cable
and capture boot messages]
With CONFIG-ISAPNP off:
2.4.1-ac12 -- SCSI driver takes over and does not allow the IDE
disk to boot.
2.4.1-ac11 -- The first time, root didn't remount properly from read-only
to read-write and hung at trying to bring the system logger up. Was
able to reboot using ALT-CTRL-DEL.
Booting as single worked and then allowed it to follow through the
remaining boot sequence. All seems well.

Perhaps it's the 'dev->memstart==~0' bug I found yesterday?
Could you go into line 450 of 3c509.c and replace
- dev->if_port = (dev->mem_start & 0x1f) ?dev->mem_start & 3: if_port;
+ printk(KERN_WARNING "%s: mem_start is %lxh.\n",dev->name,
dev->mem_start);
