3c59x compile problems + Question regarding 3c905C overruns in multi-switched environment

[Jim Matthews]

I am trying to compile Donald Becker's latest 3c59x driver into the
2.4.18 kernel.  I have made the following changes to the
drivers/net/Makefile to include support for pci-scan:

20c20
<                       net_init.o mii.o pci-scan.o
---
>                       net_init.o mii.o
66c66
< obj-$(CONFIG_VORTEX) += 3c59x.o pci-scan.o mii.o
---
> obj-$(CONFIG_VORTEX) += 3c59x.o mii.o

When I compile and link I get lots of undefined references (see below).
What do I need to be doing in order to resolve these symbol errors?

Another question (probably a question for Donald Becker).  The reason
why I am trying to compile a new driver is because I have been seeing
lots of (1%) overruns on Dell precision 340s using the 3C905C card in a
multi-switched environment.  I get 0 overruns in a single switch
environment with identical machine hardware and configuration.  These
overruns are definitely affecting performance, some MPI jobs run as much
as 3 times faster on the machines w/o overruns.  Also within the same
multi-switched environment there are machines with intel 82559 cards,
they do not see overruns.  My conclusion is that there is probably a
problem in the way that the 3C905C card or driver is handling traffic in
this multi-switched environment.  Are any such problems resolved in the
latest version of the driver?

I am currently running the 2.4.18 kernel, the 3c59x driver version is:

#define DRV_NAME        "3c59x"
#define DRV_VERSION     "LK1.1.16"
#define DRV_RELDATE     "19 July 2001"


Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
