See http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html In brief, replace /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/3c59x.c with http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/3c59x.c
My personal workstation is running 2.0.32; its uptime of 72 days was spoiled by: Mar 4 15:19:46 lesser-magoo kernel: eth0: Transmit error, Tx status register 90. Mar 4 15:22:53 lesser-magoo kernel: eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e000.

This was using 3c59x.c version 0.46C. The latest is 0.49. Linux 2.1.88 contains version 0.47H. --Scott @ @ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-oOO-(_)-OOo-=-=-=-=-= C.
