Description Sentry of Shadows 2000-02-14 14:10:00 UTC
        When Ethernet card 3Com 3c900-COMBO was installed, during
        booting kernel on console appear these lines:

        xl0:<3Com 3c900-COMBO EtherLink XL> rev 0x00 int a irq 10 on pci0.10.0
        xl0: Ethernet address: 00:60:97:9f:d4:cb
        xl0: selecting half duplex
        ifmedia_set: no match for 0x24/0xffffffff
        panic: ifmedia_set
        Automatic reboot in 15 seconds...

        than system went to reboot.

Fix: 

N/A
How-To-Repeat: 
        Install 3Com 3c900-COMBO Ethernet card.
        Add "device xl0" to your kernel config and recompile kernel.
        Reboot from this kernel.

Over to the device driver author (who will want you 
to be much more verbose then the data you've already given).

I've got exactly that card working, it reports as 
schweikh@hal9000:~ $ dmesg|grep xl0 
xl0: <3Com 3c900-COMBO Etherlink XL> port 0xd400-0xd43f irq 5 at device 14.0 on pci0 
xl0: Ethernet address: 00:60:97:e3:d7:5d 
xl0: selecting 10baseT transceiver, half duplex 

So this appears to be fixed for quite some time now.
