Hi,
I cannot get any of the 3c59x series of drivers to load properly in
2.1.71. I get unresolved symbol errors when compiling as a module during
boot-up. The driver (3c59x.c/v.47) *does* compile, although, there are
two warnings related to type casting two variables;

3c59x.c:23: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of
`rx_copybreak'
3c59x.c:25: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `mtu'

This is a problem which has caused problems before in the stock linux
2.1.x series. I was able to to use 2.1.65 with the driver from davem's
tree (vger2.1.61). With stock 2.1.65, the 3c59x.c driver was also a
problem.
I hope anyone with any questions/information could contact me or post a
reply.

Sincerely,
Bob Maiale
