[vortex] problems with 2.2.18 / 3c556B driver

[Adam Shand]

hi.

i have this problem on a thinkpad t20.  the card works great until i
suspend/resume.  the only way i can find to fix it is to reboot (unloading
and reloading the module does not work).  a friend i work with also has a
t20 and reloading the module works just fine for him (with the same
kernel).  both of us are running stock debian (woody) boxes.

when it works on initial boot i get this when the module is loaded:

Jan  4 14:58:55 heyzeus kernel:   Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives.

after a suspend/resume cycle i get this when the module is loaded:

and then after a while this repeats over and over ...

i can always ping the my ip address but i can't reach any farther then
that.

this happens with the patch for 2.2.17 (from
http://www2.neweb.ne.jp/wd/fbm/3c556/) and with standard 2.2.18.  any and
all help would be appreciated.

thanks,
adam.
