On Linux 2.6.0 (and earler -test versions), the card is stuck in
10-BaseT half-duplex mode, at least according to mii-tool. The abysmal
TCP performance for bulk transfers *from* that host suggests that it's
true. 8-(
Boot messages are:
kernel: 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html
kernel: 0000:00:08.0: 3Com PCI 3c905C Tornado at 0xd000. Vers LK1.1.19
"lspci -v" shows the following output:

Any suggestions?
(The card is fine with 2.4.21.)

grr, someone should fix this.
Could you please gather all the info which is described in
Documentation/networking/vortex.txt under both 2.4 and 2.6 and send it to
me? I'll see if I can remember how the darn thing works.
Thanks.
