Subject: v0.99H of 3c59x.c available for test.

This new test version is available from
  ftp://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/drivers/test/3c59x.c

It fixes the following problems:
   When used with 3c905B using the 40-0483-001 chip, it should now operate
      properly with 10baseT repeaters.  (Symptom: the card operates at
      10mpbs, but does not generate link beat when the interface is 'up'.)

   Detects several additional boards, most notably the 3c980.

   Better recovery from low-memory and "too much work at interrupt" states.

   More reliable operation of the 3ccfe575.

As usual, send reports.  Hopefully this version will be made into v1.00.
