I had the line "kern.*     -/var/log/kernel.log" before. I changed it now
and indeed there is slight improvement; when ifconfig'ing the card, I get:

eth0: Initial media type Autonegotiate half-duplex.
eth0: MII #1 status 786d, link partner capability 41e1, setting
full-duplex.
eth0: vortex_open() irq 3 media status 8080.

(Before I only got the 2nd line). Card initialization (prior to using the
driver) remains the same, naturally.

3c59x.c:v0.99Za 4/17/2003 Donald Becker, [email protected]
  (taken from the source directly)

Lines 321 through 324:

	{"3c920 Tornado",{ 0x920110B7, 0xffffffff },
	 PCI_IOTYPE, CYCLONE_SIZE, FEATURE_TORNADO, },
	{"3c920 series Tornado",{ 0x920010B7, 0xfff0ffff },
	 PCI_IOTYPE, CYCLONE_SIZE, FEATURE_TORNADO, },

It's supposedly the same card, right? With different 0xfff_ffff?

Thanks for your help and best wishes,

Andrej
