[vortex] 3c556b patch(es)

[Jonathan Vafai]

Oh, I see - I duplicated the line that defined the device ID for the 3C_556
to be 6055 and added one for the 6056 -- and yes, it loaded and the card was
recognized, but it did not read the correct MAC address, and gave the
"Too much work in interrupt" error message that other's have seen.
