I installed linux 7.1 kernel-2.4.2.  I applied kernel-2.4.3-12 rpm, and  =
2.4.3-12 kernel source rpm , and  kernel-headers-2.4.3-12.i386.rpm to get =
to 2.4.3-12.  After installing the kernel-headers the unresolved symbol =
errors went away.

I am running RH 2.4.3-12.  I am using driver source code  3c90x-102.tar.gz.=

not exhibit this problem with dhcp, irregardless of the switch settings.

This is a problem with your specific distribution, not with the driver
source code.
People here might be able to help if you listed your exact distribution,
specifically including which updates have been applied to the kernel and
kernel-headers packages.

Did 3Com provide any directions for your distribution?
