  Same here with:

Kernel 2.4.18-pre8
eth0: NE2000 found at 0x240, using IRQ 10.
eth1: 3c5x9 at 0x320, 10baseT port, address 00 60 97 ad 3f 84, IRQ 5.
eth2: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xd8855000, 00:50:bf:ea:0f:41, IRQ 9

Kernel 2.4.18
Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX [Fast Etherlink]

Kernel 2.4.19-rc1
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xe0863f00, 00:20:ed:1d:fe:2a, IRQ 5

  Again, ifconfig on both machines shows the correct values.

  I've not gotten around to trying 2.4.19-rc3 yet.
