[vortex] Vortex driver bug?

[LupusNebula]

Hi there,

Wonder if you could help me. I have installed Xp and RH 8 on a Dell 
i8200 Laptop.

I am experiencing problems in Linux with the network driver. IP packets 
are transmitted 100% but not all are received. I think it has to do with 
the Full/Half Duplex modes.
It seems that if  "autonegotiate" mode is set, the driver does not 
handle receiving packets, in my case as "half duplex".
I have set the full_duplex=0 parameter/option in modules.conf, but it 
has no effect.

Here is more information :

Driver : 3Com3c590/3c595/3c90x/3cx980
