Hello, i have a very similar problem with 2.6.21 also;

2 3com NICs and they are failling randomly.

The kernel is a basic fedora 7 kernel (2.6.21-1.3228.fc7)
I found a bug report and added details here : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=243960

I'm not subcribed on this list, so please cc me if there is any questions.

Hm... This method is usable if you can find such minimal config
with which the bug cannot be reproduced. Then you can add more
until the bug is back. Of course, this takes time...

We know your hardware should be OK - since it was fine with 2.6.20.
We don't know how much your configs (kernel & apps) have changed.
Sometimes the change of kernel needs some apps to be recompiled too.
That's why it could be usable to try 2.6.21 from a live distro to
find if it's really kernel's fault.

And, alas, this log doesn't seem to tell nothing new...

It looks like there is something common in the air...

Marcin: ne2k_pci with 8390, Jean: 3com, and now I see
similar problem with 8139cp too (plus some ideas):

So, you probably should wait a little & look for new patches here.
