Problem with a Cyclone card

Starting with kernel 2.0.36 and around 2.1.13x in the new kernel series
(I'm currently running 2.2.1), I have had problems with the 3c59x driver.
every few days it simply hangs.  I have it loaded as a module, and all I
have to do is fix it with an ifdown eth0; rmmod 3c59x; insmod 3c59x; ifup
eth0.  I am running on a peer-to-peer cable (i.e. - no hub) and connecting
with a Windows machine.  I have had no problems with the driver in 2.0.34,
and was wondering what caused the problem.  Please reply with any news.
