As I wrote in my PR (#29845), my problems also happen with
the 3C589 which uses the ep driver. So we can sum up to:

1.) Intel Etherexpress PRO/100 PCMCIA (xe driver)      crashes
2.) 3Com 589D EtherLink III PCMCIA (ep driver)         crashes
3.) Intel Etherexpress PRO/100+ PCI Card (fxp driver)  works perfectly
