That's funny.  Your 'lspci' output shows PCI IDs 1007/6055, which
is a 3c556, not a 3c556B.

But which driver was it?

	ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/3c59x.c

doesn't correctly support the 3c556 because it doesn't have
the EEPROM_8BIT stuff.

But the newer Ra driver at

	ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/test/3c59x.c

_does_ have the necessary changes.  It should work OK with the
3c556.
