Here's a patch which works for me, against your source:

I adopted this from a post to the vortex mailing list by Fred Maciel,
http://www.scyld.com/pipermail/vortex/2000-July/000495.html

Fred Maciel also initially added the 3c556 support to Linux.

I don't know which flags are crucial for it to work, but I might test
this a bit more in the following days, including checking whether this
patch is necessary on Linux-2.4 as well, and then contacting upstream.

If I am bored enough, that is.


cheers,
