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.
