  I face the same problem with my 3Com Boomerang 10 MB adapter the error
messages are:

Apr 10 10:17:41 pille kernel: eth0: transmit timed out, tx status 00 status e000.

additionally the previously working autoselect now fails.
  The drivers for the vortex and boomerang adapters I got from Don Beckers
Page are identical, so I'm not surprised that both fail.

  On bootup my machine recognizes the boomerang:

Apr 10 10:15:17 pille kernel: eth0: 3Com 3c900 Boomerang 10Mbps/Combo at 0x6000, 00:60:97:38:91:60, IRQ 10
Apr 10 10:15:17 pille kernel:   8K word-wide RAM 3:5 Rx:Tx split, 10base2 interface.
Apr 10 10:15:17 pille kernel:   Rx Pacing bug exists, disabling bus-master receives.
Apr 10 10:15:17 pille kernel: eth0: Overriding PCI latency timer (CFLI) setting of 32, new value is 248.
Apr 10 10:15:17 pille kernel: 3C900.c:v0.39 4/1/97 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov

  I'd gratefully appreciate help or advice so I can switch back to my boomerang
adapter and pull the slow wd8003 out again
