Network card 3Com 3C509: No net connection

Symptom:

The netcard is correctly detected by the driver, but it does not send any (valid) package.

The output of ping when calling another computer looks like follows:

mars:~ # ping -v 192.228.118.73
PING 192.228.118.73 (192.228.118.73): 56 data bytes
ping: packet too short (56 bytes) from 192.228.118.77

Solution:

Both the Plug&Pray and the Autoselect functions must be switched off (if available) with the 3Com 509 using e.g. the DOS configuration utility.
