And to what driver version does this update apply?
Once I'm clear what driver version/patch to try I'll give the 3c59x
driver one last chance before ditching it for a NE2k (yes, really)
or a tulip.
I'd do it with any driver you see these sorts of problems with, it's
simple, just save_flags/cli on entry to the hard_start_xmit method,
and make sure you do a restore_flags before leaving.
I did this to the Tulip and EEPRO100B drivers we use for the Cobalt
boxes as well when I saw this fixed the problems I was seeing ;-)
Poof, never a tx timeout ever again.
