I can say that I've experienced similar problems with the 2.1.5 vx driver in an installation just a few days ago. Some of the 3C595 series might be buggy: the vx driver (sometimes but not always) prints a "early defective adapter" at boot time. In addition to that, the reseller of the card told us that it was to be discontinued and replaced with the 3C905... That's all the information I have. We replaced it with a 3C509 and lived happily ever after. -- Pierre Beyssac pb@hsc.fr
