3c590 and linux 1.2.13

Well, if I remember correctly, the Intel etherexpress cards worked much
better under 1.2.13 than the 3c590's.... Perhaps you might prefer giving
them a try. I know you might prefer the 3com products (as we did, but under
1.2.13 with those drivers, the Intel driver was simply *much* more
reliable.
