[Patch] 3Com 3c523: Can't load module in kernel 2.4.1

[Tom Sightler <ttsig@tuxyturvy.com>]

Ok all, here's a patch that attempts to make the 3c523 driver work again in 2.4.1.  It includes the following changes:


- fix addresses with bus_to_virt
- reduce xmit buffers from 4 to 1 (puts driver in noop mode like ni52 driver)
- increase recv buffers from 6 to 9 (should help decrease dropped packets)
- add short delay to detect routine (makes cards detectable on fast machines)
- use eth_copy_and_sum for receiving packets

It passed basic stress testing with multiple, simultaneous ftp transfers.

Know bugs:

- Multicast still doesn't work at all (I have patches that seem to fix this but they have other problems)
- Still drops packets under heavy traffic (can be reduced further by lowering MTU on interface)
- Sometimes requires host to send a packet before it starts receiving (I can't reproduce this on my equipment anymore, but needs more testing)

Anyone with this card please test and report back.

Later,
Tom
