 OK, your dmesg says:
 
 xl0 at pci2 dev 12 function 0 "3Com 3c905C 100Base-TX" rev 0x78: irq 5
 address 00:b0:d0:a1:46:5e OUI 0x001018 model 0x0017 rev 7 at xl0 phy 24 not
 configured
 
 Hence phy not configured - and the phy interface is the one that will do the
 do (AFAIK) on the media interface. I don't have an xl card here - I might
 have one on another site, but what phy drivers are in your kernel config ?
 
 Stick all of the ones from GENERIC in there (and Dlink 570TX users should
 remember to use nsphyter as well) and things might work...
