The "Vortex" driver from D. Becker, namely the driver for the 3c590/3c595 network adapters, still refuses to see a 3c595 adapter in case a 3c590 is present too.
Moreover, in that driver there are a number of waiting loops which wait far longer than necessary, due to a mistake in the test of the loop condition. This bug affects performance, though not dramatically.
I submitted a patch to the former bug a long time ago, and I e-mailed Donald Becker for the latter bug last month, but "the song remains the same"...
