   The code compiled cleanly, but wouldn't even load as it complained
of unresolved dependences: __io_virt_debug() and do_BUG(). Your code
does not call either of these functions directly.

   OK, I figured I'd just add the following functions at the end of
3c59x.c
===
void do_BUG(const char *file, int line) { }
void * __io_virt_debug(unsigned long x, const char *file, int line)
{ return (x < PAGE_OFFSET) ? __va(x) : (void *)x; }

   The code compiled and loaded, but syslog showed the following
messages (notice the timestamp, the errors occurred immediately):

   Did I mangle the driver? If so, how would I get it to load cleanly?
