I don't remember actual patches from a year ago. Current 2.4.x has code
that resets the via-rhine.
Since you run on 2.2 the drivers from www.scyld.com are an option (not
sure what the 2.4 status is on those). They are similar to the in-kernel
version but not identical. If you do test, any difference in behaviour is
intresting.

The 3c905C (3c59x) has been working just fine for me. But then so has the
via-rhine cards I have.
