[vortex] 3c556B adapters - and Slackware 7.1

[Scott Stoddard]

Oops, I should of explained that... I think the extension is just wrong... I
did try that but it says this file is not in gunzip format... I can read the
whole file fine in a viewer (I wouldnt be able to do that compressed
right?)...

Judging by the file extension i would first expand the file (gunzip
3c59x-2.2.17+.gz) and see what you find at that point.
