As I indicated in another reply to you, <quote>
Please try this, although I'm not yet convinced that the 3c59x
driver calls all of the right hooks for this to work.
but good luck, and please report back on it. </quote>
It looks to me like (but I haven't traced it completely)
3c59x doesn't call netdev_boot_setup_check() [even indirectly],
and that is needed to set the irq/base/mem_start/mem_end
parameters for use during the probe() function.
(I'm looking at 2.4.22 source code for this.)
(3c59x uses mem_start for driver options flags.)
Can anyone confirm this? If so, we could fix it, but I'd
like to have some confirmation of what I'm thinking on this
since I can't test it (no vortex/boomerang adapter).
