[vortex-bug] Need help with the 3c59x driver with kernel 2.4. 0 - 2

Hello Andrew and others,

Thansk for the pointer. I compiled and installed the 2.4.1 kernel with the default 3c59x.c replaced by the one mentioned below. The earlier error is gone, but I cannot ping the gateway and beyond. Also, note the same settings work for others linux PCs(none has the same card on linux) on the same floor and have been confirmed by our IT.

Incase you believe the card is now ok, please confirm and I will work on the configs. The usual file outputs are below. Do email, if more inputs are required

Thanks and Regards
Amit

That will be a 3c905CX.

Fixes were made in the 2.4.1-pre3 driver.  I suggest you go
to kernel 2.4.1, or replace your existing 3c59x.c with
http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/3c59x.c-2.4.1-1.gz

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks.
