Hello!

The linux/drivers/pci/pci.ids file has changed so that the card formerly
listed as (line 1619 in pci.ids):

        9800  3c980-TX [Fast Etherlink XL Server Adapter]
                10b7 9800  3c980-TX Fast Etherlink XL Server Adapter
        9805  3c982 Dual Port Server Cyclone 
                10b7 9805  3c982 Dual Port Server Cyclone


is now listed as (line 1619 in pci.ids):


        9800  3c980-TX [Fast Etherlink XL Server Adapter]
                10b7 9800  3c980-TX Fast Etherlink XL Server Adapter
        9805  3c980-TX 10/100baseTX NIC [Python-T]
                10b7 9805  3c980 10/100baseTX NIC [Python-T]

which causes the 3c59x.c driver in both that kernel and in the latest
releases from scyld.com to no longer recognize the card.

Thanks!
