Linksys card and Cisco switch

[Stephen Carville <carville cpl net>]

There appears to be a dislike betweeen the Linksys Etherfast card in
my laptop and the Cisco 4006.  The card works fine with DHCP on my
home network which uses a10 Mbps hub.  However, when I plug into the
Cisco switch at work it will not get an address,  I can assign it an
address and it works but the DHCP broadcast are causing the switch to
have fits.  The switch reports:

2001 Jun 29 11:40:03 %PAGP-5-PORTFROMSTP:Port 5/34 left bridge port 5/34
2001 Jun 29 11:40:22 %PAGP-5-PORTTOSTP:Port 5/34 joined bridge port 5/34
2001 Jun 29 11:40:33 %PAGP-5-PORTFROMSTP:Port 5/34 left bridge port 5/34
2001 Jun 29 11:40:52 %PAGP-5-PORTTOSTP:Port 5/34 joined bridge port 5/34
2001 Jun 29 11:41:04 %PAGP-5-PORTFROMSTP:Port 5/34 left bridge port 5/34
2001 Jun 29 11:41:23 %PAGP-5-PORTTOSTP:Port 5/34 joined bridge port 5/34

And the the DHCP attempt fails.

The MAC addres does nto show up in the CAM database unless I assign a

The card does work but seems to have a problem with the switch.

Suggestions?
