[vortex] 3c556b patch(es)

[Jonathan Vafai]

Andrew-

Despite your putting the driver patches together in a discrete package, I
confused the situation by using an older version!!!

Finally, using your version from 
http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/#3c59x-2.3 , I
recompiled Kernel 2.4.0-test 8 and my 3c556b, a.k.a the one with the 6056 
device
ID (In an IBM ThinkPad T20, the 3com MiniPCI adapter), works sucessfully!!!
I'll watch for errors, and kernel messages but it looks pretty good sofar.

Thanks, everyone!

Jon
