Hello All,
	I'm not subscribed, but I am reading from the mailing list archive.  
Hopefully this will go though anyways.

	Just got a new Dell Latitude CPi+dock.  I tried redhat-6.0, linux-2.2.11,
and 2.3.15 and none recognized the ethernet.   Unfortunately I think I
found the problem, from the dell website:

  3Com 3C920; 10/100 BASE-TX (PC98-compliant); Data bus width;
                               32-bit PCI host interface

	From the website: http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html
I assume that it's unsupported.  

	On an unrelated note I tried copying the newest driver (0.99L) into
my 2.3.15 source tree, and compile it:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.3.16/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasi
ng -pipe -fno-strength-reduce  -DCPU=686 -march=i686   -c -o 3c59x.o 3c59x.c
3c59x.c: In function `vortex_scan':
