I used the entire driver as a drop in replacement for 3c59x.c in my
pre7-1 kernel. I'm currently testing it by downloading an iso image on
one computer as well as masquerading interface for the other computers
in my home lan. dmesg reports:
3c59x.c:v0.99L+LK1.1.5 30 Apr 2000 Donald Becker and others
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html $Revision:
1.78 $
eth1: 3Com PCI 3c900 Boomerang 10baseT at 0xec00, 00:10:4b:b3:8a:92,
IRQ 11
8K word-wide RAM 3:5 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/10baseT interface.
Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives.
The only anomaly I notice is what seems to be a large number of
collisions reported by ifconfig as compared to the old interface. This
is only a subjective evaluation. I'll run it for a few days and try to
get hard numbers.
