Sorry for the flood. I think more too much debug info is better than
too little, so please bear with me.
With 'options=0' the connection (pinging Nokia box) does not work:
insmod 3c59x options=0 debug=7

Now to the actual tests. These are with 'insmod 3c59x debug=7' and
2.2.18pre19 3c59x.c (I realize this the preferred version for
neither Donald nor Andrew. I will redo with newer drivers the test
if you want so.)
1) After insmod. Everything works.
