[vortex] Linux kernel driver vs. others

[Jeff Tucker]

Hello,

This might be obvious to others but it is not to me. It appears that there 
are at least two versions (possibly three) of the driver known as 3c59x.c.
- Donald Becker's
- The driver included in Linux 2.4.18, which obviously was split from the 
above driver at some time in the past
- A driver referred to as the "Costescu-Morton development series" on the 
Scyld website. The link provided there is dead. It's unclear to me whether 
or not this is actually the same as the Linux kernel driver.

Can someone explain to me the differences between the drivers. If I have 
high-volume production servers using 3C905 and 3C982 cards, which driver 
should I use? Stability and reliability are paramount. Speed is nice too.

Thanks
Jeff
