2.6.16-git12 killed networking -- 3c509 card

[Pete Clements]

FYI:
  Single 3c509 card, UP i386
  Lost networking with .16-git12, message
  ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready

  Had several of these with git11
  NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

  No problems observed git1-git10

Another "me too", in case it's still helpful.
3c905B (PCI) on a BNC(!) network, AMD Duron 1200, 3c59x.o.

2.6.15-ck7 (based on 2.6.15.6) works, 2.6.16-ck3 (based on 2.6.16.1)
produces the following errors:

Would be very nice (~= important) to see a fix somewhere in 2.6.16.y.
