Hi, Louis.
I'm confused. 3c59x is the name of the linux 2.2 driver for 3com NICs.
'3c90x' is the name of 3com's GPL'ed driver for a subset of the NICs
which 3c59x supports. You may be using two drivers which both support
the same hardware!
Suggest you try them one-at-a-time. If that's a no-go then please send
me (off list) a copy of:
su root -c 'lspci -bxxx'
The output from 'ifconfig -a'
The output from dmesg
Fuller description of the NICs.
Thanks.
