[vortex] 3c556b patch(es)

[Jonathan Vafai]

I dropped the driver in and compiled the 2.4.0-test8 kernel.  That went
fine.  I rebooted with it, and it did not work.  What would be the best 
information
to share? /proc/pci ?

There were no strange error message, it seems to not have been recognized.

Thanks,
Jon
