[vortex] 3c59x LK1.1.16 Linux-2.4 PCI bus error/Host error

[epl@labyrinth.net.au]

Apologies for the delay as the original email disappeared (with no
bounce messages). I suspect it was due to an attachment in the first
one. Let's hope there isn't a size limit too.

   OK, my fault, I compiled my kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_IOVIRT. The
kernel and modules used to produce the logs within this email has since
been recompiled.

   debug=7 in the previous email as well as this one.

   I guess so, since it is the highest debug level.

   I doubt it, though I can't rule it out. So I've repeated the test
with the network cable physically disconnected -- surely no packets can
be received now! The logs are at the end of this message.

   Anyway, there are three phases within the logs.
1) From 21:31:28 to 21:31:28 - I ran "modprobe 3c59x"
2) From 21:31:44 to 21:31:49 - I ran "/etc/init.d/network start"
3) From 21:31:52 to 21:31:52 - I ran "/etc/init.d/network stop"

   Before 1), the system have booted into multi-user mode without
loading the 3c59x module beforehand. After 3), the system is fine,
other than not being able to use the network.

   As above.

   This driver is clearly more unstable than the standard Linux one.
