[vortex] does 3c59x run under 2.4.x?

[David Caplan]

Ruben,

I noticed that you are running 2.4.3-20mdk, while I was trying 2.4.2.  Just
to make things interesting I downloaded 2.4.5 and it (3c59x) now works fine.
A diff on the source shows a bunch of changes, but I'm not sure what was
causing the problem.

For the record, here's the line from lspci (under 2.4.5):

01:0a.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX [Fast Etherlink]
(rev 78)

[root@fredo ~]# uname -a
Linux fredo 2.4.5 #1 SMP Fri Jun 1 13:17:30 EDT 2001 i686 unknown>

Thanks to everyone for the quick responses.

david
