2.2.18 driver has a problem with 3c980's.  You'll need to add HAS_NWAY to
the card's entry in the driver's device table.  Or use the 2.2.19 driver.
I _think_ it'll work OK if you force the interface type to "8" with
`options=8'.  This forces autonegotiation.  But the best thing to do is
to grab the 2.2.19 driver.
