FreeBSD Release4.2
>Description:
Well, I have a 3Com EtherLinkIII isa pnp-card, when I load my machine
with kernel.GENERIC, it recognizes the card:

Qoute from dmesg:"ep0 <3com.......> irq9 isa0
ep0: eprom failed to come ready
ep0: Ethernet address 00:00:00:00:00:00
ep1:<3Com...> at port... irq9 on isa0
ep1: Ethernetaddress: 00:60:....:bb
ep1: promiscious mode enabled
ep1: promiscious mode disabled
ep1: promiscious mode enabled
ep1: promiscious mode disabled
"
If I try ifconfig ep0 - the system hangs!!!!!!!!! 

If i try ifconfig ep1... , the system works, but network goes VERY-VERY
SLOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW, even if i ping the neighbour machine(the ping 
intervals
can be 1-2 minutes or can be +infinity at all).

What's the matter with that!???

I've already tried to compile kernel with "device pnp0", it has no effect.

>How-To-Repeat:
take a <3com etherlink III 3C509 combo isa-pnp> network card and
try to boot on 4.2-Realease with kernel.GENERIC.

I dunno, if you know, PLEASE let me know asap as well, or i'll install
solaris 7 on my box and will never be using freebsd again if there's no support.

 This isn't the real dmesg output.  Boot verbose and capture the relevent
 information (anything that contains 'ep' and the PnP settings) and let me
 see that.

 Use the 3c5x9cfg.exe program (under DOS, available from the 3com FTP
 site) to refresh the cards config.  I've seen what appears to be corrupted
 EEPROM contents cause the driver problems.

 I had this same problem, and the 3c5x9cfg.exe program, along with just
 re-setting up my NIC solved it. Other notes from my problem
 
 1.	Problem happened at boot, system hung during boot, and rebooted
 2.	Had BSD 4.4 working with same NIC, and no problem at all.. (??)
 3.	Finally managed to upgrade my 4.4 to 5.2.1. yay.
