As I can say about my card 3c590, it never worked for ppc. Except I
insert the insl/outsl to insl_ns/outsl_ns.
If so then the driver worked perfectly. This is before the patch from
Andrew: http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/#3c59x-2.2.
With the patch I get a lock asap I insert the driver or do a ifup
<device>. I didn't track it down right now, I tried the 2.3 first. But
here I have no luck either.
A communication between two machines happens. A simple ping from the
3com based machine leads to recognized MAC on the second machine running
tcpdump. In the other direction I get only rubish MAC's. An answer to
the ping doesn't happen, in both direction.
