I've been running linux on my Dell Laptop for a long time, and there is
a network card in my docking station.  It's identified as a 3c59x card,
and works great with the older kernels.  But now the drives failes to
obtain a dhcp address with this error:

If I boot the old Fedora core 2 kernel, it works fine.  I realize this
could be a problem with the support for the PCI bus, but don't know who
to contact on that.  Do you?
