Thanks! I've downloaded the new driver and built it according to the
instructions at the end of the source file.

Does anybody know off the top of their head if I can just swap
/lib/modules/2.0.30/net/3c59x.o for my newly compiled 3c59x.o and then
reboot? Or do I need to do some fussing with the module loader
configurations to get it to work?
