I have exactly the same here on 2.2.13 kernels... so it really is a nast
one... nice one to boot out 100 mbit boxes wich are using this card a lot.
I'll be testing with 2.2.14 wich is just released but i dont think they
altered that code there. I am using 3c590 ....

Sad.

If its fixed in 2.2.14 i'll do another post .-)

Bey,
Raymond.
