I got that one too, PC is ASUS P2B-DS with two PII-350, 384MB RAM, 3C905B. I've tried 3C905C to no avail. The e401 status seems to be that there is too much load on the card to be treated in the 20 (2.2.17) or 32 (2.2.19, 2.4.x) loops of the interruption check routine (stop/hit me if i'm wrong please). I think we should try (MM. Donald Becker or Andrew Norton, is this a Bad Thing ?) to change max_interrupt_work (3c59x.c, row 171) to 64 or maybe even higher. Haven't had the guts to try on the production machine right now =) > The nic is a 3Com 3c905B. Is this a bad thing? I heard they work fine...
