Hello,

I have a problem with the 3c59x driver written by you in the 2.4.0 final 
kernel.

When in do modprobe 3c59x it say that all is ok and tell me the MAC 
address and that the IRQ is also used by other device (my UHCI USB 
controller).

And when i try an ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.246 netmask ..... I got two 
message that tell me that a command coul'nt be completed and return me 
two error message.And of course i can't access network.

I've tried many option and try to find something interesting with 
vortex-diag and mii-diag but the only thing i found out is just before 
the ifconfig, mii diag tell the link is ok and active, after the 
ifconfig, it tell me that link is down ... if i do an ifdown, it tell me 
that the link has been broken and is now ok ...

I've tried with two different network card (same model) and with 3 
version of kenrel (2.4 final 2.4 test 6 and 2.4 test 10) and it doesn't 
work (but the card is ok since it work under a 2.2 kernel or Windows)

My exact config :
  3Com 3C905CX TX-M WOL
  Linux kernel 2.4.0 on RedHat 7
  Asus A7V Mother board with TBird Athlon

If you want additionnal data, like log og dmesg or exact debug info from 
the module or output of diag prog, just ask.

In the hope that you have enough time to have a look on my problem

Tanx,
Munaut Sylvain
