Yeah, it looks like the real 2.1.120 uses the same 3c59x.c (v0.99F) that were introduced in 120-pre1, ugh.
A bit surprising given that multiple people have reported total disfunction with this version, both from the 120-pre series (on linux-kernel) and the test/development 3c59x.c file available from Donald Becker's Vortex/Boomerang/Cyclone page (multiple report on the vortex-bug mailing list).
Donald Becker's page has the 0.99E driver as the "official" version, with 0.99F available as test/development version.
Could someone please revert the 3c59x.c driver back to 0.99E in Linux 2.1.x until a better version than 0.99F is available.
(Currently running 2.1.120-pre1 with 3c59x.c 0.99E, yes I'm one of the afflicted persons that have reported it)
