Hallo Mr Morton,

I also upgraded my machine to 2.4.0test9 and have the same problems. Our
network is a fully switched 100MBit Full-Duplex Network. All machines are
connected to a cisco catalyst 5000.

My machine is an ASUS P2B-S with 128MB RAM and a Pentium II 400MHz.
(the report data is generated from 2.4.0-test7 but you can truely believe
it's the same with 2.4.0-test9)

uname -a :

Linux reboot 2.4.0-test7 #2 Mon Okt 9 15:09:12 CEST 2000 i686 unknown

The card banner on kernel-bootup looks like this:
