3c59x.c v0.99F doesn't work with 3c905 cards?

[Greg Whalin]

Well, v0.99E works fine for me on several systems (and this is 100MB/Full
Duplex).  The only problem I am still having with every one of these cards
is the following.  On any system that gets a fair amount of traffic
passing over it, I am getting tons of the following errors on console:

eth0: Transmit error, Tx status register 82.
eth0: Transmit error, Tx status register 82.
eth0: Transmit error, Tx status register 82.
eth0: Transmit error, Tx status register 82.

It hasn't seemed to cause me any problems 99% of the time, but on
occasion, the card will die for a short period of time and the system will
lose all network connectivity for up to 5 minutes.  This is somewhat rare,
but it has happened a few times.
