OK, but I now realized that the diagnostic that I've made in my last 
message could not be correct, as the recent kernel drivers print a message 
about timeout of the RxReset command. So another thing that could be tried 
is to do a complete RxReset - since several months, the driver avoids 
resetting the PHY; you need to locate a line:

issue_and_wait(dev, RxReset|0x04);	in the kernel 3c59x.c or
outw(RxReset | 0x04, ioaddr + EL3_CMD); in Donald's 3c59x.c

and just remove the "| 0x04" part, which will produce a full RxReset.
If you have the documentation PDF from 3Com, you could look up the 
different RxReset codes at page 137 and play with them; of course each 
modification means recompilation of the driver...

Hmm, it's too new to be from the same batch...

Oh, I would say days or even better weeks if at all ;-)
