[vortex-bug] More 3c905c problems...

[Eliot R. Smith]

Using a brand-new 3c905c, I originally ran into problems and found the
similar-sounding problems and reported solutions in 
www.tux.org/hypermail/linux-vortex/2000-Dec/0064.html     and
www.tux.org/hypermail/linux-vortex/2000-Dec/0043.html     and
www.tux.org/hypermail/linux-vortex/2001-Jan/0038.html   
involving changing (in the 3c59x.c driver v0.99Qk) a timeout value to 50000
and changing the logic for searching for an MII transceiver.  

Having made those changes and compiled the driver, I tried
insmod 3c59x.c debug=6
ifconfig eth0 xxxxxxxxxx up
ping (gateway)

without success.  Here are the dmesg debug messages:
