[3c509] 3c509b stopped working

I have a pair of 3c509b installed in my box, however today, eth1
suddently stopped working (packets appears to be going to /dev/null, no
link light on hub). Cold rebooted the box brought back the card for an
hour or so before it failed the same way.
Then I took both interfaces down (`ifdown eth0 eth1`), removed the
module (`rmmod 3c59x`) and the link light came on again till I inserted
the driver again (`insmod 3c59x`)?
The only fundamental change has been a recent upgrade from 2.4.17 to
2.4.18 (16+ days ago), both drivers have identical 3x59x.c (DRV_VERSION
LK1.1.16).

I browsed 6+ months of the 509 and votex archives and noticed a couple

Any ideas?
