Are you running off thinwire or thickwire Ethernet?  We had a similar
problem affecting our thickwire Xstations when upgrading to 3005,
while the Xstations still using thinwire were fine (we're in the
process of converting our thinwire to 10BaseT).  It turns out that the SQE
(heartbeat) function needs to be turned on the tranceiver to work
properly with 3005.  This will be fixed in future release.

Hope this helps
