I recently upgraded my aging Dell Latitude (366MHz PII) to 5.1-BETA2. Though dmesg indicates the hardware's being detected, I can't seem to get my network card up (3COM 3CCFEM656, which was a Dell OEM card). I can talk to it with pciconf, pcitweak, and scanpci, and it appears to take configuration from ifconfig; however, netstat -r times out waiting to find the route. FWIW, ifconfig does *not* seem to read the card's MAC address (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) My Zoom Telephonics 2975L PCMCIA Modem also has ceased working. Under 4.7-STABLE, I had a little trouble with this, e.g., booting with the card in the slot would cause a system hang until you removed the card. Now, I get a kernel panic if I insert the card at all.
