3c59x: LK1.1.17 gives No MII transceivers found

[Kees Bakker]

In 2.5.8 there was an update of the 3c59x driver. I have two NICs,
both use this driver, a 3c900 Boomerang and a 3c905C Tornado.

Linux 2.4.17 and 2.5.7 both report
00:08.0: 3Com PCI 3c900 Boomerang 10Mbps Combo at 0xd400. Vers LK1.1.16
00:09.0: 3Com PCI 3c905C Tornado at 0xd000. Vers LK1.1.16

However, the new driver produces:
00:08.0: 3Com PCI 3c900 Boomerang 10Mbps Combo at 0xd400. Vers LK1.1.17

Does anybody have a clue what can be wrong? Any help would be
appreciated.
