I have a similar problem with 3c905TX card.
I have RedHat 5.2 (i386) with 2.2.0pre6, when I start the network
scripts, and in detail ifup script, my ifconfig dies and hangs.
Then if I try to run, in another shell, another ifconfig (without
parameter) I have the same result. My net-tools are 1.49 and ifconfig's
version is 1.37
I try with 2.2.0 pre3 and 2.1.131 but I have the same result.
These are the messages at boot time:
