Here are a few generic tips. Upgrade to at least the latest
stable 3c59x.c driver, which is 0.99E. There is an experimental one named
0.99G. Both are at the regular site http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html
You might want to upgrade the rest of your kernel too.
And try a packet sniffer like 'tcpdump' just to see what is really
happening. Good luck!
