[vortex] Problem with 3c982 Cyclone Network Card, Dual AMD.

[Heflin, Roger A.]

We have not tried the second interface yet, we are only using the first
(eth0) 
interface at this time.  We will try the second interface and make sure
the 
same symptoms can be duplicated only using it by itself.

Here is the output from vortex-diag:

Saved EEPROM settings of a 3Com Vortex/Boomerang:

  Vortex format checksum is incorrect (0026 vs. 10f1).

I had to run col -b against the output to clean out some control chars
right after division and product so apparently it failed to read those
chars correctly.

I also ran this against several identical machines and diffed things and
the only difference in the above output was the expected mac addresses, 
and some bytes in the eeprom that match the mac address.
