[ILUG] Linux and the 3c59x driver

[Liam Bedford]

Just following a thread on bugtraq, there seems to be a bug in the kernel
drivers for the 3c59x series of cards (3c590 - 3c905x), that cause machines
to either stop network connectivity or hard lock (depending on the person
doing it).
It seems to come from a _MAXED_ 100Mb connection.
