FWIW: If you are referring to the vortex cards as "old" cards, I have to
say that even 0.46C is too new. Just two days ago we had this famous
network lockup with a 3c595 and driver version 0.46C.

0.42 (we're using this combination in several servers). For "new" cards
(boomerang, cyclones) use the newest driver available.
