Ok, new results.
Built a new virgin 2.6.16.
1) able to stimulate a tx time out message
2) rebooted with 3c59x.global_enable_wol=0 on command line,
   able to stimulate a tx time out message

Applied the collision statistics fix fix. Changed the extraversion
in the top Makefile to preserve my baseline, also make does more
work than previous. 
1) Booted and unable to stimulate a tx time out message

Rebooted to virgin 2.6.16
1) able to stimulate a tx time out message
2) rebooted with 3c59x.global_enable_wol=0 on command line,
   able to stimulate a tx time out message

Rebooted to the patched driver kernel (collision statistics fix fix)
1) unable to stimulate a tx time out message.

Rebooted to virgin 2.6.16

Appears that earlier results were tainted.
