Title:
  Error in 3c59x driver (EEPROM MAC address is invalid)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have just upgraded from Fedora to Ubuntu. The build in NIC was
  loaded but my good old 3c905B  wasn't.

  I seems to be a bug as I found a similar bugreport Bug #356148
  (Slightly different nic 3c905C-TX). here it is claimed that the driver
  worked for that card in "Linux ubuntu 2.6.31-7-generic #27-Ubuntu SMP
  Mon Aug 24 17:33:49 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux"

  I found an indication of acpi=off being a temporary fix, but applying that made by system halt after this line: 
  [    0.770512] 0000:03:01.0: 3Com PCI 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at ffffc90000c7ac00.

  Is it a 32/64 bit challenge (fix not being ported)?

  dmesg says:

  [    0.770481] 3c59x 0000:03:01.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20

  I hope is as simple as finding the right versions and doing a diff
  (which it never is) :)
